I don't disagree. I don't think the quality of education at Harvard is that different from other schools. But the quality of the people that get into these schools is way higher. Yes having a good upbringing makes you more likely to get into a good school, and as a result of your upbringing you're more disciplined, educated, and capable. The good have already been sorted from the bad before they've even been accepted into a a school.
