Right, Ivies may only have 0.5% of students, but 30% of all US Presidents had a degree from one. Of the past six, only one hasn't had an Ivy League degree.

Of nine Supreme Court justices, only one didn't go to Harvard or Yale.

They are only a tiny portion of students, but they have a huge impact on who holds power in society.

Correct, and that should end. One of the many reasons I was overjoyed to vote for a non-Ivy ticket last November.
