people would attend a university based on the connections they have?

<p>My family has no connections, and my brother goes to an Ivy league school.</p>

<p>He’s had a 4.0 every semester but one, and won the university division of the International Math Modeling Competition. He does so because of his intelligence, and more importantly, his hard work.</p>

<p>And so, with this counterexample, I feel perfectly justified in calling you a ■■■■■■ over your affirmation that only the privileged attend schools in the Ivy league.</p>

<p>As for your point over whether someone would want to go to a school for superficial reasons…well, that actually falls into the larger bucket of
“Why do people do things for superficial reasons?!”
The answer being, of course; they are shallow and concerned with superficial things.</p>

<p>Have a nice day, jerkface.</p>
