Yup. Agree completely. But you’ll never get the status chasers to admit that. |
My personal opinion is that there is H/Y/P/S/MIT, and then every one else. |
No, T20s do not matter.
My niece graduated from Penn State and landed a competitive finance internship. She and her peers are just as smart, impressive and accomplished as the kids coming out of HYPSM. |
Sometimes. At least for careers where connections matter. If the kid doesn't have an "in" to where they need to be then sometimes that "Yale" on their resume gets them a 2nd look.

I think you mean “And a tiny % of other jobs right out of college” |
If T20 schools are so great, why can’t their leaders figure out how to clear a field full of fat ugly female antisemites? |
Agree with this. I went to a top Ivy, sibling did not. We both did fine in our careers and lives, but we went on to very different paths. And the people we associate with now are very, very different. |
Parent of freshman at UMD that is doing same thing. Not making 50k but more than enough to pay for tuition. |
This x1000 |
Yes for sure it helps. I mean, I do this when I’m interviewing people - give the Ivy, Ivy-plus and T20 graduates more of a benefit of the doubt for a less than 4.0 GPA than I do for someone from Wisconsin or Maryland….. |
Knowing how hard it is to get into any of these schools lately, I’d say any Ivy, along with the ones you mentioned… |
How many competitive finance internships go to Penn State students? How many go to HYPSM students? |
This really explains or highlights the “outcome” differential…the difference in outcome might be more stark if you are 1G; MC or even UMC…..For those with generational wealth, the college won’t be a magnifier as to wealth or professional outcomes. |
Good point. |
Very few for Penn State I’d imagine. |
