Just because smart people come from all kinds of institutions does not mean top tier institutions don't also graduate very smart people....

That's really why the chasing prestige and "trauma" over college admissions is ridiculous. A really smart, motivated student will excel anywhere. Where you go is not nearly as important as what you do while there.

I work at a place that 20 years ago mainly hired only Ivy and near Ivys. The most impressive person on my team didn’t even go to college. She was hired as a temp when she moved to a city seeking adventure because her family was too poor to send her to college. Her supervisor saw talent and hired her permanently and she was on a steep promotion trajectory. I recruited her (internally) to my team and didn’t even know she didn’t go to college until she had been on my team for almost a year. She’s now a Director. She’s got amazing initiative and willingness to just take responsibility for whatever we throw her way.
