The major difference between Ivy League schools and Public ones isn't education. In fact, public uni's have closed the gap in a lot of ways and many are better in certain majors and/or grad majors.
Where Ivies show out is 1. the socioeconomic status of students and 2. networking (both student wise AND recommendation wise - get an Ivy Prof to write a rec for you and you'll go far). With Ivies you have the connections and resources to drum up capital, have access to a fantastic alumni base that really does help you, and get into a great grad school (one that often sets you up for life).
It's not really an education difference at most places. (And FWIW, I've taught both public uni kids and Hahvhaad kids at the grad level and there's not a dime's worth of difference).
Everything being equal, you're a fool not to go Ivy.
