[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hiring manager in private sector. School doesn’t matter like it used to. At all. People need to understand that when they are thinking of spending 400k on undergrad [/quote]

Maybe in your world. But outside of that, it still matters a lot[/quote]

Another hiring manager. School brand doesn't matter in my world either. I want to know what you did at college, wherever it was.[/quote]

So if someone went to a podunk regional college in the Midwest, west coast or northeast, it would hold up the same as a UMD or GW or UVA?[/quote]

One of my best hires ever went to the University of South Dakota and the worst was from Penn. So, no, I don't put a lot of weight on college brand. That doesn't mean it doesn't matter at all just that the pool of "acceptable" is way wider than the people stressing about college apps think it is. Yes, I would look askance at an all online college, wouldn't hire from Liberty U, unranked regional Us. But really, if it's a state flagship or a regional school that makes it into in USNWR top 200 universities/top 100 LACs, to me there just isn't much distinction when it comes to the brand. What did you do with the opportunities you had, wherever you were. [/quote]

Yes.  My best hire was a lower ranked SUNY school, my worst was Yale.
