I worked at Amazon and I didn't meet a single person in the L4-L6 engineering set that went to an Ivy or other top school (except for one or two that went to CMU). The rest went to state schools including myself.

Now I'm at a somewhat well regarded startup and most of the people around me went to Cal States, Arizona State, or UC's.

flagship state schools are in that "tier-1 public" category. We're talking Berkeley/UCLA, UT Austin, A&M, UVA, Georgia Tech, etc. etc. etc.
