I think that if you are determined to learn all you can and to make the most out of your college experience, you'll allow yourself to get much more out of a "poorer-quality" school than someone without that determination will get from an Ivy League one.

I agree. It's not where you went to school, or what degree you got, or what kind of grades you made, it's how much you learned, and you are the one who determines that.
