[quote=Anonymous]The importance of going to a top school is different from what it was a few decades ago where going to top schools helped people network with those they would never have come across. Today with the internet and linkedin, things have changed. Top firms go to many schools. So if you are good you can have chances even from lower tier schools. What is important is to do the best wherever you land. This is the message I am giving my younger kids. Our friend's son is joining Citadel from a state school because his parents did not want to spend on private college, he just did very well at the state school. Studies have shown that top schools help those from the lower socioeconomic part of society thr most. For other kids, doing well at whichever school you go to and utilizing existing networks will work just as well.[/quote]
