[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wake, BC, and Tulane just won’t impress potential employers or carry much prestige in social circles. They just don’t.[/quote]

BC is ranked top 10 in finance and investment banking majors in the country.

Tulane and Wake alums I know also are all very successful and have connections. [/quote]

Impress potential employers or carry prestige socially ...

Every job interview I went to in my 20s and most people I met that heard that I was a Wake alum all commented on how it's a really good school and I must be really smart. It's not MIT, but I wasn't planning a tech career. When I was there, at least 1/3 of the entering freshman came in pre-med.

Which employers and social circles is that poster even referring to?

the trolling on here is embarassing. most have not heard of wake let alone think it is a great school.[/quote]

It was/is well known in DC. I don’t care if someone in OK knows where it is as I wasn’t applying for jobs there.

It depends on your field how much weight people put on such things. Pretty sure it at least got me in the door in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Any good hiring manager knows at least the top100 schools if not more.[/quote]
