Jack Smith: a case study in college selection

There’s nothing wrong per se about any of the highly rejective schools. They all have strengths. They all have weakness. We’ve built up a mythology around them that leads some to believe they are essentially a golden ticket. I have many Ivy grads in my friend and professional circles. They all do regular jobs. The three Fortune 500 CEOs that I’m friends with all went to random state schools. At the end of the day we are the products of our efforts not our diplomas.
