[quote=Anonymous]The claim was Michigan closed doors.  But GS was recruiting summer analysts there.  They weren't doing any recruitment events at Brown.  As the other articles indicated (1) going to the "Harvard of your region" mattered for recruitment purposes (2) people that rose to the top of these companies had degrees from non-elite schools (3) GS was moving away from elite school recruiting because lots of those recruits left after a couple of years.

Yes, HYPSWC grads have an edge in first-job-post-college hiring in some fields/firms.  But it doesn't follow from that that UM closes doors or that Brown is a golden ticket anywhere.  And the impact college has on your career quickly fades once you actually have a track record in your field.

Michigan and Brown are both places where a student can get a great education. Whether that student actually does get a great education and what she does with it afterward are up to her.  No doors will be closed or thrown wide open based on which of those schools she chooses. (Unless the additional cost/debt associated with attending Brown constrains job or grad school choices).
