[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In many jobs it’s better to have gone to a local school. I.e. if you’re applying to law firms in Houston, they’d rather a U of Houston law grad with a specialization in oil & gas than a Yale Law grad. Having local connections & knowing the local culture of where you want to work matters a ton. [/quote] In Texas people are neither interested nor impressed by out of state school. They've dozens of low cost and high quality great state schools and prefer their own graduates. For example, medical schools limit out of state applicants to 10%, 90% seats are for residents. They don't particularly know or care much about their own elite private schools, even though Rice, SMU and Baylor are highly ranked. UT and A&M cults are strong because they are huge and have dozens of satellites campuses on top of huge flagships.[/quote]
