It could be presuasively argued that the very process of the no-name school student having to create those opportunities forces a focus and discipline that will enable that student to later outperform the catered-to (spoiled) student from prestigious U. When the going gets tough in the real career world, the no-name school alum may be better prepared to prevail.
