[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say no but there are still plenty of employers who will only hire from top 20, or even top 5 schools.[/quote]

Just curious who you think will only hire from a Top 5 school?

McKinsey, Bain and BCG hire from 30 schools (with University of Michigan #3 overall in terms of number of hires)
The bulk of top investment banking hires come from 25 schools, with NYU sending more kids than all Ivy Leagues and Stanford (Stanford actually very low...likely just because their grads don't want to go East), except Penn

The only industry I can think that may apply is Venture Capital...however, the total employment in VC is miniscule.

Now, yes, those companies above tend to take more kids from higher ranked schools, but there are still plenty of kids getting recruited from UVA, UT - Austin, Notre Dame, etc. for both IBanking and Consulting.[/quote]

[b]Notre Dame is a top 20 school, and it's business program is top 10.[/b][b]

Here are some hiring ranks for consulting and finance.

You keep saying that, ND Mom, but neglect to point out that USNWR has two lists: the top 20 SLACs and top 20 universities. You also fail to note that ND is a low 19 on the university list, so maybe a 38 overall but points for trying.. yet again.[/quote]
