I am at a smaller university and we sometimes we get applications from individuals from Harvard, Yale etc... Some are really good but some come across as very arrogant. We avoid messes by simply not hiring them in the first place.

At one point a friend of mine had the job of hiring research interns. He found Ivy League undergrads to have a massive sense of entitlement, and that people from second-tier did better because they actually were willing to do the work assigned.
