Not everyone is born equal. Those who are smarter, stronger, taller, better in general will always end up in the elite educational, super prestigous institutions like Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Oxbridge/MIT/Stanford. The students at those schools are destined for greatness. The peasants with birth defects and lower genetic quality are relegated to NUS/SMU. NUS/SMU grads inevitably end up working for their Oxbridge and Ivy League counterparts. Such is life.
