Are Ivy League Schools Overrated?

Are Ivy League schools overrated? William Deresiewicz, who taught at Yale from 1998 to 2008, sure thinks so:

"I used to think that we needed to create a world where every child had an equal chance to get to the Ivy League. I’ve come to see that what we really need is to create one where you don’t have to go to the Ivy League, or any private college, to get a first-rate education."
