If your purpose is creating a strong network, becoming a CEO and leveraging relationships later in life you don't go to those schools for computer science. What a waste of an opportunity. Go into business and meet important people. Or go into the arts so you have time to join social clubs.

Going to those places to get a VC to email you more easily is better achieved by getting into an yc or some other incubator.

Also, given what I've seen in this business, you'll have much better luck if you're a rich kid from NOVA who went to TJ.
