[quote=Anonymous]In terms of job performance, I have had stars from all over - elite and lower ranked schools. I have also had bad performers from all over - both elite and lower ranked schools. But before you get to the job, there is the interview and one thing I have found is that as an elite grad human bias goes in your favor. If I am about to interview a kid from Princeton or Amherst, I will go into that interview with the assumption that they are brilliant and hardworking and they would need to f*** up to convince me otherwise. With non-elite grads, the burden is on them to prove how great they are. I'd never go into an interview with a Penn State grad expecting them to be brilliant, they will have to actively prove it to me. Hence, as other posters have noted above, the pressure on kids from lower ranked schools to place in the top 5%. Now, we may not like that this is how it works, but this dynamic is definitely at play.[/quote]
