What really is missed out is that I get they want ivy leagues because it guarantees a good life, but just having a degree is already something that helps. It doesn't grant, but it helps. high school friend, told me that Ivy league doesn't make him feel smarter, but the fact is he was able to network is decision makers and people.
And he also said, at least what was verbal to him, is that his education didn't help, it just got him the connections to put his resume in front of people. And he only got one job offer. I think of, 8-9 interviews?
