[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should hire from the top half of any college. [b]The lower half of a Harvard class will not be better than the top half of most other schools. This is discussed by Malcolm Gladwell in case you want to google the talk. [/b] Judging based on school’s brand is a bit silly. But maybe firms like to have schools with good branding listed in the corporate bios? I’ve never hired based on school and focus on skills and culture fit. [/quote] So if the lower half of Harvard is as good as the top half of most other schools, then are you saying that the top half of Harvard kids are in a league of their own?[/quote] Well, that has been my experience in hiring - the top kids from HYP and other elite schools are truly exceptional. Outside of that group, if let's say you are at a State school and competing for jobs with elite college grads, you better be at the top 5% at the State U to compete with the 3.6 GPA Harvard kid.[/quote]
