<p>Wow, elitist much? There are at least a hundred schools that are comparable to the Ivies. Take a look at the sort of alumni that the top LACs turn out. I’d bet Swarthmore means nothing to the common Joe, but its graduates are just as spectacular as Harvard grads. That said, you have to realize that elite schools don’t make elite students. Harvard students had all the qualities of high-achievers before stepping foot on campus, and your future isn’t handed to you on a silver platter just because you have an fancy degree. You may have to open your mind before you call yourself interestingguy.</p>
