Nice piece on the Ivies, prior home of at least a couple of the writers here. Fave quote:
Trotter thinks the perfect IvyGate post “reveals the tension between the meritocratic connotations of the Ivy League and the plutocratic connotations of the Ivy League.” Both people who’ve been more or less bred to land in Ivies and students who’ve gotten there by hard work are haunted by fears of inauthenticity, he believes.
Thank God I didn’t get in!

I”m divided. On the one hand, their speculations about what drives Ivy kids to misbehave strike me as pretty smart. On the other hand, I also think the world would be a lot better off if people generally gave the Ivies a lot less attention than they do.

I think no need for your two ideas to divide you–they seem consistent with one another.
