[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these rankings are meaningless. Everyone knows there about 10 schools that open doors - Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Brown maybe a couple of others. [/quote]

Swap Cornell and brown with duke and caltech and yes[/quote]

Caltech I'd agree with adding generally. Duke, not so much unless you are a member of the Brotherhood.
I've worked for a few very selective employers, and Stanford and Harvard are the two that really seem to open doors over the last decade. MIT and Caltech as well for technical roles and Penn and Yale in finance and marketing. Otherwise, the names are nice but not really distinguished from another 10 schools. 
Princeton is the one that I've been a little surprised by not doing quite as well (I would have expected more of the Harvard/Stanford response), though their alums are tight and I've noticed hire one another directly more than other similar schools (I wonder if this is what makes others a little suspect generally to be honest). Columbia also tends to do better than Cornell, Brown, and Dartmouth, though that could be due to the industry and Dartmouth is small too. Dartmouth and Swarthmore are the two smaller schools I've been most impressed with. Beyond a few huge name schools though, I observed that it is more industry and type of role specific.   [/quote]

Not Duke

Just HYPSM, Caltech Wharton[/quote]
