[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People chase after anything perceived as the best or prestige VIP. It’s why we have idiots driving recalled Cybertrucks [/quote]

This.

It’s the insecure/brand-chasing parents. They want to brag and keep up with the Joneses.

Agree that I’d give a closer look to the resume of a state school grad with excellent internships over a top name school kid.

What if the top name school kid has excellent internships too and you can only select one for an interview? [/quote]

I’m the alum to whom you responded. To answer your question, literally has never happened. There is always enough variation that the school brand has never tipped the balance. And people are not their resumes. Some resumes look stellar and do not match the person in front of you when you interview them.

And agree with the poster who said writing and analytical skills are key. And being a team player. And social skills (reading the room, etc.).

And I haven’t seen anyone care about where I went to school. If they ask, I’ll respond, but otherwise, whatever. [/quote]

DP.

That's weird because I don't see that much variety in resumes.
I interview law students so maybe it's a bit different but...
If I see Fordham on a resume, I can reliably expect an otherwise impressive resume.
The Columbia/NYU resumes are much more variable.
The mediocre Fordham kids get filtered out.

You are looking for people to do actual work for you and the kids that have been academically successful are more likely to be the hard working capable employees.
They will tend to learn faster.
They will be used to hard work.
They will be used to operating at high levels for longer periods of time.
Sure there are kids at other schools like that too but you are really skimming the cream off of places like Fordham while you can almost pick kids from the top half of Columbia at random and expect decent results.[/quote] Plenty of excellent Fordham kids also get filtered out, but you don't see that. No one wants that for their excellent kids [/quote]
