A couple of things... UNC, Lehigh and Lafayette are not on par with Ivy's.

Ivy's are not all wealthy white kids from homogeneous neighborhoods.

The post that you are referring to is from a guy who is trying to justify his (his kids) choice / decision.
I think he’s trying to say that your first priority should be your kids fit, level of happiness and outcome.
These top schools are full of … different kids. They are not the all American types you think they are. They are all super-woke. I got the weekly email from my alma mater (a popular private school w the yankees in the south)this morning and 5 of the 10 headlines were about how woke the school is becoming. I’m glad there is now a science club for the LGBQ’s but what else? You can now get a Kunta cloth at graduation!
They should just be touting the engineering lab!
Just by looking at these schools IG you can tell. Very different.
