The relative importance of an Ivy League education for a successful professional life is WILDLY overstated. The most recent Fortune 500 Report showed this - of Fortune 100 CEOs, only 11.8% have an Ivy League undergraduate degree, and 9.8% have an Ivy League MBA. An IL degree might help with landing the first post-college job, but after that, so many other factors become more important.
Yes, but those are people who actually work for a living and create the wealth that generates the taxes and jobs that allow Washington to keep experimenting with the rest of us. How many Ivy Leaguers are at the highest echelons of government? I would bet it's a higher number. It's an elite feedback loop.

I mean. that's a heck of a multiple if the google I found that .4 percent of college students attend an Ivy is correct.

Interesting point... probably a much higher IL representation.
