[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe my experience is dated, but I am very surprised at how little credit people give to "brand name" schools, especially if you are studying something not specifically job oriented.  I was a liberal arts major at Brown in the 80's, and went to Yale Law in the early 90's, and those names alone have opened many doors for me.

Obviously it does you no good if you go to Penn undergrad, spend all that money, and then jerk around for four years.  But if you do well, you are way ahead of the game.[/quote]

ok. i'm not one of those ostrich types - I fully tell people how it is about names opening doors but you fucking have YLS on your resume.

you could've gone to Podunk for UG but YLS is gold, especially in this town. not sure how many doors brown opened for you because I know a number of underemployed brown alums.

YLS will always open doors. Brown - eh maybe.[/quote]

You may be right that at this stage YLS is what carries the weight.  But being a straight A student at Brown was one of the major things that got me into YLS in the first place.[/quote]
