Most ppl seem to get their reasonings completely wrong.
No degree from any one university will determine succcess. But what most if not all of us here can agree is that Oxbridge/Ivy Leagues and their equivalent universities will offer better overall quality of education (Better faculties, networking, global exposure etc etc).
Therefore, it is how u make use of the extra opportunities available at these top universities, which is not usually found in local unis, that will help you in the future.
If you spend 3/4 years in university without making use of what is offered, it certainly does not matter which uni u go to.
That said, intelligence/IQ is only part of the equation to success. Therefore, it should not be surprising to see ppl we deem less smart become more successful than us.
