[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pass on a resume from Bucknell unless I saw something else compelling-- great experiences, top grades, merit scholarship (to explain why applicant where there and not state u).[/quote]
Why would someone bear the burden to convince you that any well-ranked school is better than state u?  I've received 1000s of resumes so I'm genuinely curious. [/quote]

If you are applying for a job then yeah, the burden lies with you not me.

When I see decent state U, I think practical (particularly if I also see that applicant had to work thru college, got scholarships).

I see someone from a private college like Bucknell? I think rich kid who didn't get into a top school, not particularly exceptional. Unless I also see scholarships or something else interesting on resume.

I'm not sure that someone who went to Bucknell would necessarily note whether they'd received financial aid or not on their resume.

I think your post reflects an effort at false sophistication.  I'd be making hiring decisions that were a bit more nuanced and based on fewer assumptions.
