Ivies are irrelevant. Most students don’t go there, and they are atypical in age, background, and family income. The majority of students come from the top 3-5% of the population in income. On top of that, a significant portion of the student population is international. If they disappeared tomorrow, it wouldn’t make much difference. (They would be spread out among the state honors colleges and other institutions, and would do just fine.)
