Your anecdotes don't change the overall statistics. You also can't detach the name brand from the people who attend the top schools. Statistically those are people more driven, hard working, and intelligent. [/quote]

This is quite a huge fallacy. So many of these students are at "top schools" because of luck and the situations they were born into - wealth and privilege and entitlement.[/quote]

Sure.  To an extent.  But a majority of my Biglaw partners did not come from these circumstances.  There is a good subset who did but not the majority.  Same is true in 2021 of other jobs mentioned here -- Are there a good number of people in the Wall Street training programs that were UMC or higher.  Sure.  But a substantial number were also MC or lower.  They do recruit from the same elite schools.  They are not only open to UMC.  It is one of the reasons to try to get to go to one of those schools and is one of the reasons OPs original post is wrong.[/quote]
