This is actually what's going on. Ivy's are an intelligence signal laundering operation. Attract 80% super smarts, throw in 20% rich upper class, now people think your average rich upper class kids are "super smart," for their later career.

Some smaller liberal arts schools in New England probably come closest to qualify. But if you've heard of the school that probably means it's large and diverse enough that isn't really an accurate description.
