[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tech / CS hiring manager here - don't discriminate at all among the top 100 schools.  don't care at all.  Decent GPA?  fine, lets move on and talk shop.  The higher ranked placement records is just a matter of the quality of the average student.  If you expect the school to bring you along, then sure, you should focus on that.  The reality is the best CS candidates are passionate about the industry and do a lot on their own time as a hobby.  Personal experiences, internships/professional experience, and how competent you are during the interview matters 1000x more than which school you went to[/quote]

Anyone who has experience in the industry knows this already. But the dcmoms who believe in hierarchy (lots of them in dc as politicans and lobbists/lawyers reign at the top) won't be convinced.

This is not just true in computer science, it is also true in othe technical fields as well. Even though not an economist, I was involved in hiring of economicsts, and obersered they sometimes rejected  graduates from stanford, uppen, chicago, columbia, etc. The reasons vary from them left the field many years ago, or they didn't have the skills that were required.
