First, to get into most Ivy Leage Universities in the first place you need either a straight-A averae, or a position in the very Upper Class. Secondly, many of not most Ivy Leagers do feel entitled to their position by virtue of their family’s position in society, third, many of the undergraduate courses are fluff courses many with a Pass-Fail grade, or none at all, and finally they serve as finishing schools for elites, rather than intellectual powerhouses that they purport to be..A good public University will more likely turn out a better Phi Beta Kappa than an Ivy League school, but those schools do not make the A-List when it comes to hiring…More and more books are being written by students to refllect these views–read “Privilege” for example, about Harvard University
