[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the branding power of Harvard or MIT? Even if you were at the bottom of your class. Wouldn’t you still typically get a job easily with higher salary compared to a top engineering student at UMD? Also, isn’t everyone at Harvard or MIT really smart to begin with? [/quote] Of course there is stronger branding power at MIT, Harvard. But what good does branding power do if you struggle with confidence and feel like a failure/imposter/low self esteem compared to competitive peers that are outperforming you consistently. It impacts confidence, initiative and mental health which can impact how you come across in a job application/interview compared to peers or might have you consider dropping out, taking time off, switching to an easier major, using substances to manage depression, and all of that can impact outcomes more than branding power.[/quote]
