Indeed, but it side-steps the parts where the blogger inflates the importance of being passionate and such. Anyone less fortunate in those terms in that point in life probably couldn't get away with it, even if it were still a great school (top-50). It goes along the same irony vein that results in so many people to using Mark Zuckerberg as an example of how/why dropping out of school can be better than staying in, all the while ignoring the fact that he was still at Harvard, far above and beyond the initial position of those re-purposing the example for themselves.
