Aside from the fact that I dispute the notion that academic rigour in Harvard is going to result in a person obtaining a C in Harvard who would otherwise earn an A+ at USC, the employers of each respective school are from different slices of society.
That said, what people holding this kind of attitude seem to not realize is that the process doesn't entail scraping the bottom of the barrel in order to fill whatever seats they feel necessary. It's to help people who already make the cut on their merits.
Aww, those poor white legacy children with their shattered self-esteems! lol, they seem to be doing just fine with their Ivy League C's.
