>Well, statistically, Stanford/Harvard/IIT graduates are more likely to be successful. If you go to Berkely or Georgia Tech, good for you, but the Stanford et al. grads are probably better. A lot of the value in going to Stanford seems simply in being associated with the name Stanford. If you're the kind of person who values form over substance, go there. You'll do really well in life. I've watched student clubs there get sponsored by Intel and nVidia at the drop of a hat for absolutely nothing more than the opportunity to put their name next to the Stanford logo. The students know this, and take advantage of it too. It's a really weird dynamic. The whole thing just feels fake and gross.
