What makes you think other countries does not also have "elite" universities? China and India has five times the population of the US and several universities which are harder to get into than MIT. Fwiw, I don't believe in the theory of the GP. Math is a subject best done by yourself so what your peers know or not doesn't matter, imho.

Scroll through, and just take note of how many are American, vs other. Choose any international university ranking, I leave the following on just as an example.
