> The people that go to these schools go on to be the upper-crust of society. They can think outside of the box and push the envelope of human knowledge.

Yeah, kind of like SBF

> I would challenge that these schools are looking for people who think better than most people. Yes they need to be smart when it comes to doing school work, but they need to be more than that to attend an elite university.
