[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, OP, I went to Northwestern, and I don't think where people went to school matters at all. I work at NIH and there are SO many smart people there--really, really smart people--most of whom didn't go to elite schools. There are plenty of people at elite schools who aren't all that bright but who got there by virtue of who there parents are. When I hire, I focus on the person, not the school, and I definitely don't assume someone will be smart and a hard worker because have an Ivy League degree. I do think some of these schools cultivate an attitude of superiority among their students (or, at least, some of their students), which makes some people *think* they're extra special. They almost never are.[/quote]
