This entire discussion overlooks one key factor: look at the types of students that most of these schools admit. For all the ivies, MIT's, and stanfords, the students going to those schools are HIGHLY qualified. They are intelligent, good test takers, have excellent time management skills and are highly motivated. In other words...they're going to be successful no matter where they went. It is NOT due to the schools influence.
