Of course, no one gonna check that you dropped out of high-school and worked at McDonalds until the day you discovered internet and became a zealot, so don't hesitate to lie and lie big.
* Yes, I do know that MIT does not belong to the Ivy League. But the name "MIT" seems to have the right kind of effect on people in this business
