Strange how a name such as "Ivy League" which meant a coalition of sports teams now has taken a new meaning to refer to the selective nature of admissions and the lack of sanity it brings. Why all the pretensious attitude?

If you're talking about grade inflation and a superficial need for higher grades, yup! Seriously though, these schools have a lot of money for research. If you plan on a career in the academic world, this might be beneficial especially since you might get to meet some of the best in your field of interest, but as an undergraduate twiddling your thumbs? Eh, who gives a crap, I'm Canadian anyways.
