Entry 10: Ivy or not Ivy? That is the question.

In my personal opinion Ivy league school still offer more advantages, but it only makes a difference if you are going take advantage of it or not.  I agree that it all depends on the student but I don't believe that people who get accepted into the same school would end up having the same pay check 20 years later. However ivy league schools do seems to be a selector, but one that has great resources. It may be true that the schools are only there to make sure you succeed but ivy league schools seem to be a better helper than state schools. The statistics that he mentioned in his speech didn't seem reliable to me because if you randomly pick two people who got accepted to the same ivy league school but one didn't go. They are not always going to end up making the same amount or around the same amount of money. Also a state school and its environment may also affect how a person studies and affect their success. So I am not completely disagreeing with his theory but I am saying that it has holes in it.
