[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Connections. [/quote] Will someone please explain these "connections". Are there really employers where everyone went to the same school and they only hire people from that school? [/quote] Not necessarily. But having an Ivy League name on your resume helps. I graduated from Penn almost 20 years ago and people still comment on it when they see my resume – and it's not Harvard. For what it's worth these are usually people who did NOT attend Ivys. I don't believe the quality of the education was that much better than a non-Ivy school, but certain people are impressed by names. I don't think the alumni community is any stronger than any other university. People often give a resume a second look if they went to the same school as you did regardless of what that school is. Certain schools will be more strongly represented in certain areas of the country.[/quote]
