All the rankings are for your reference.
Just one of the variables in your decision making.

It is true for certain industries such as investment banking & consulting. Not important for those hired in the audit division of major accounting firms.

Also, look at page 61 of the 86 page study you reference.

The study focused on responses from executives,managers,and HR. Executives viewed one's college or university reputation as 60% more important than did HR or managers. Remember HR doesn't make hiring decisions and managers need approval from higher ups (executives).

Varies by industry, but some industries are very conscious of hiring from elite schools (investment banking, consulting, & law are 3 such industries).[/quote]

Not sure what type of consultants you're talking about, but I'll be it's the same in that industry, too. They want top talent, not fancy diplomas.[/quote]
