I had friends who went to Harvard and Yale while I went to a state school for arts which I ended up dropping out of; most of my friends are now taking their Master's while I am just getting myself situated again. They were high achievers their whole life, they had their lives prepared for them; money or impressive junior accomplishments. You can imagine how I felt.
Don't compare yourself to others, don't get into the habit of doing so; you'll only let yourself down. You do'nt know what you want to study, but you want to attend an ivy league just because? Ivy leagues are exceptional in certain majors, while other universities are great for other majors. Money is also considered, my brother attended a full scholarship program rather than an ivy league in which he would had to owe hundreds of thousands of dollars which he will pay for the rest of his life seeing how this economy is doing
By no means I am saying don't aim for it, I am encouraging you to motivate yourself but don't let yourself down, like others said, just be realistic
