[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a few fields that use "prestigious" schools as an efficient way to weed out applicants - finance, big law, consulting, often academia. It seems a little antiquated these days, not least because the Harvards and Yales are not necessarily getting the best and brightest anymore. But as long as a few schools continue to be perceived as more prestigious, there will be certain companies and industries that will prefer those students rather than objectively more talented students from say Maryland or Wisconsin.The Blackstones and KKRs of the world still feel they have a good talent pool to choose from with the limited number of schools they target for recruitment. [/quote] There’s also just more students overall with opportunities. More schools with extensive AP and IB programs, which allows for more educated students. As holistic admissions has gotten crazy, there’s been more spread as to the type of institutions top students get into![/quote]
