In the wake of the admissions scandals, I'm not so convinced that the Ivy elite are really as special or gifted as you say. If anyone who gets in on a golfing coach's bought recommendation can complete the coursework with all these supposed high achievers, then something seems off. If you define high achievement/accepting challenges as devotion to the institution and a willingness to do whatever it takes to enter and graduate, then I think the picture comes into better focus. Just my take - I'm certainly not Ivy material myself.
