[quote=Anonymous]Re hiring -- depends on whose doing it, where, and in what field. Re grad school, I think the claim that past rep matters more than current/future rep is just flat-out wrong. Grades/scores/recommendations (and for PhD programs, recommenders) matter much more than some generalized sense of the prestige of the school. And it's probably easier to stand out (and to get profs to check the "once every 5-10 years" or "only a couple of times in my entire career" box on the part of the form that asks how often you've encountered a student this good) in a school where massive infusions of funding have brought in great faculty before bringing in great students. So the transitional moment could be a really good opportunity -- again, depending on field.[/quote]
