Anecdotally, degrees from the Ivy Leagues are not nearly as indicative of intelligence and aptitude as they used to be. They still function as great signals for prestige and networking ability, but they no longer translate to "this person must be a genius, they went to Harvard/Yale".
The source of my anecdote are the discussions I've had with the the recruiters at my company. They've also told me that Harvard/Yale graduates are way more likely to be prima donnas and leave the company after a short time in order to advance somewhere else.
