[quote=Anonymous]I mean because it's complicated. The high ranked schools can get you the prestige and connections. However, they aren't guaranteed by any means, you have to be in the right places, perform in class/lab/internships and then make the connections. It also depends on your field. There are some people who are more old school and will only look at people from certain school (law, business, finance you can find people like that). One of the oldest stories I ever heard was Justice Scalia talking about the best law clerk he'd had was one he inherited from another judge, but then Scalia said he never would have hired the guy because he went to Ohio State and he only takes clerks from Harvard and Yale. But also those connections do exist at other schools? Sure. And they matter much less in certain fields.[/quote]
