The entire premise here seems to revolve around university admissions.
Who measures success based on which university someone went to? Isn't that just the preamble to one's life after graduation, which is when people actually hit the road and make something of themselves?
Of course going to an Ivy League school has advantages, but constructing an argument against meritocracy based on access to institutional higher education is strange.
