Are they wasting my time?

I recently made it to the final round interview process, which will take a day in their office, with a well respected boutique firm specializing in my niche area, which I am of course elated about. However, after reviewing a lot of their analyst and associate profiles I can't help but feel they might be wasting my time a little. Almost 100% of their employees were educated at the same 3 ivy league schools, clearly through on campus recruiting. Despite being on the faculty at one of those schools (which is a considerable achievement for someone under 25 with no PhD), I can't help feeling that I am somehow already dinged because of my education, though having attended two very well known institutions.

What do you guys think? I am doomed from the start as I anticipate, even after making the final round?
