This argument dodges the thrust of Sam's essay, which centered on gender disparities. Your argument doesn't work for gender disparities.

For example, MIT is ~46% female. Stanford is 47% female. (I won't be pedantic about the Ivy League thing.) These numbers look absolutely nothing like the small end of the VC funnel.

Do you know which schools those numbers are from?

(That doesn't really affect your chance of startup success, but surely it affects your inclination to go into one.)
