[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolute nonsense. I hire many graduates every year. The idea that they are divided into some kind of caste system based on where they went to college is simply ludicrous. Of course we have a vague ranking of the different universities, but your personality, experience, interests, and individual accomplishments count for more. And of course, once you are in the door no one gives a crap where you went to university.[/quote]

If you worked for a prestigious investment bank, law firm or consulting firm, you’d understand this a little better. Yes, many smaller companies who aren’t going to attract the best anyway won’t focus on top schools. Why bother when those graduates don’t want to work for you anyway? Kids from Princeton aren’t typically working along side kids from no name schools.

McKinsey isn’t recruiting at Penn State or Syracuse.  Those schools are fine in many ways but if you want every door open, school prestige matters. [/quote]

A simple search on LinkedIn proves you wrong.[/quote]
