I’m beginning to understand that most of the attraction of the Ivies is as a status symbol or a ticket to a particular segment of employment, or even as the Meritocracy article posits, as a path to leadership in American politics. Not really because of the actual education

Perhaps that is the case for you but not for many, if not most, of the students there.</p>
