I suspected the CFOs might have gone to swanky schools. But nope - Baylor, Berkeley, and Boston University.

It seems like it's only some old timey Wall Street firms that are still living in 1955 and only recruit from the schools their grandpappies went to that care about rankings. Other than that, I don't think it matters that much - provided it is a recognizable school.   [/quote]

It has never been true that CEOs and Senators and Presidents [i]only [/i]went to top schools. However, top schools are [i]significantly overrepresented[/i] in the ranks of business and political titans. It is foolish to dismiss this and insist what school you went to doesn't matter, provides no advantage.[/quote]

The question was concerned with the potential deleterious effects of going to a lowly ranked college, not the benefits of going to one which is highly ranked.[/quote]

What question was that? I missed it.[/quote]
