it's not. good grades, a lot of motivation - and you're in. i have a lot of friends in ivy league schools who had neither affluent nor rich parents.
hard work and motivation is all you need.
plus, some non-ivy-league schools are better than some ivy-league ones (compare MIT and Brown). |

that depends on what you're studying. |

exactly. ivy league is just the sports league started in the early 20th centuries by older colleges. quality of program and old-fashioned prestige are two completely different things. |
