Not at all. There are plenty of idiots at Ivy League schools who either had wealthy parents, got scholarships for things not necessarily pertaining to their intellect, or were accepted on the grounds of inclusiveness to create a more diverse campus atmosphere.

Most people who go to Ivies aren't elite for going to Ivies, they're elite because they're able to get into Ivies. This includes rich legacies and the such who are practically nobility. Obviously this excludes people on scholarship who might be able to get into the school and have it paid for, but they can't get on to the rowing team.

Good question. A friend of mine went to a private school as a kid.
We were in the same class. Honestly, kinda seems like a waste of money. maybe parents just like being able to brag about it. --- There needs to be more games that will force players to man the **** up and not expect it to hold your hand ~ Phantom_Opera_G ... Copied to Clipboard!

I heard that the lowest grade one can get at Harvard is a B, but I don't know if there is any truth to that.
Ivy League is overrated anyway. ... Copied to Clipboard!
