Personally think a graduate of Virginia Tech or Penn State is going to do far better than one from Bryn Mawr.   Why?  Name recognition and the size of the alumni network.[/quote]

That’s a great thought, but what you don’t realize is that Beth Mawr is a 7 sisters school which has a quite large (because it’s 7 schools alumni networks combine) and extremely loyal and tight alumni network. Big state schools are a dime a dozen and the brand loyalty isn’t the same. And if you went to a big state school saying you never heard of Bryn Mawr just shows poorly on you, not the bryn mawr grad. People who have gone to more elite schools have the recognition of schools like Haverford, swarthmore, Wellesley, middlebury, Amherst, smith, Williams, etc. they don’t care about your Penn State degree.[/quote]

I went to a T10 university, and if I was hiring, would not give an advantage to a kid who went to a slac over a state school.  Particularly a seven sister school, because very few kids are even willing to attend them these days.  But thanks for your efforts to be condescending.[/quote]
