<p>gwilliams most people aren’t the “greatest”…all going to an ivy league demonstrates is that you are intelligent and usually your peers are as well. That is what makes them so special, the high concentrations of educated and motivated students. In life at top jobs you will find people like this from all schools. We are not debating how the top kids at institutions like Michigan compares to the top kids at Duke, since I bet they are pretty comparable. We are instead comparing the overall strength of the student body and from those facts people can make an educated assessment of how good or bad a school is. In the end, a school is only as good as the students it attracts.</p>
