I don't think getting writers only from the top 20 uni will work.
I wouldn't like my high school paper to be edited by a grad student at an Ivey League college

Once we are a little more established we plan on being less selective with our editors and letting the market decide who the great people are.
We simply require that they attend a top 20 school at this point. This is mostly so that customers know that all editors meet that baseline measure of credibility (i.e. they made it through the same process that the applicant is pursuing, and thus probably know what it takes).
