[quote=Anonymous]So much really depends on how hard you work it. A kid can go to Harvard and pretty easily get a posh gig in IB. The same kid could go to U of Arkansas and end up a Rhodes Scholar (big fish, small pond) and use it as a launch pad for even more exclusive opportunities than they would have had at Harvard. I ended up turning down a T20 for lack of funds and going to a Tier 4 that you've probably never heard of. I worked my butt off to find opportunities and made it happen. Being a big fish in a small pond absolutely helped. I now work in a senior leadership role at a global company (with many who went to elite schools). It's worked out for me. I think if I'd gone to the T20 I may not have stood out as much academically or pushed myself as hard. Who knows.[/quote]
