[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are just figuring this out? Of course it is overrated. This should be common knowledge. Elite schools are for GRAD school. No one gives a crap about undergrad unless you want to work on Wall Street. That is literally the only job where it matters.[/quote] There are very few people who should go to (non-law/medical) graduate school. You almost certainly shouldn't go to (non-law/medical) grad school for a job. This whole, "you'll just go to a better graduate school" attitude is generally harmful. Most people will be better off spending that time gaining work experience. Perhaps it might be worth it to attend a prestigious master's program (especially if it's in computer science and you have a non-CS STEM degree), but the idea of a Ph.D. to make up for a lower ranked undergraduate program is silly.[/quote] I never said PhD. I said grad school, which is a graduate degree which covers any number of degrees JD, MD, DMD, etc. I also never said everyone should go to grad school. I said elite schools are for grad school. This means that you can go to undergrad anywhere and go to work. I never advocated everyone go to grad school. I recommend elite institutions only for graduate degrees NOT for undergrad. I think you need to improve your reading. [/quote]
