[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it, but if I hear things like "My kid didn't go to an ivy and he turned out fine, he went to Duke undergrad and Stanford for an MBA." OBVIOUSLY that doesn't count if you're including two very prestigious schools that are better than most of the ivy league. I'm talking about going to regular schools (not top privates or flagship state schools) and having a great career. Thanks![/quote] Yes going to a prestigious school IS helpful for future success, and yes, many people also do very well without going to a prestigious school. It is one factor. It's also near impossible to quantify the effect - how do you study outcomes of going to Harvard vs not going to Harvard? I went to HYPSM and it's very hard for me to tell how much of an impact it has had. I can't tell how prospective employers or clients react to my degree. Is it a factor in hiring me or not? [/quote]
