[quote=Anonymous]Branding....IMO the brand status of a first job and where it leads affects the degree in which the career climb will be easy or tough for most people in certain industries.  And more opportunity for a prestige company is available from highly ranked schools whether or not your family is connected.  Recruiters face overwhelming volumes of applications.  Knowing that a pre-screen has already been done whether based on school reputation or contacts is a reality to get through to the decision makers.  Once at that that point there's a hope that merit will play a larger role.  Can a top, driven student make it happen without that?  Of course, it's just a lot harder to compete for less slots unless they are already connected through family.   We have both situations within our extended family.  The kid attending the higher ranked school is having an appreciably easier time obtaining internships, the other is having success but not quite to the same degree despite doing exceptionally well at a great public university.
