[quote=Anonymous]I was a first gen college student obsessed with rankings and prestige and landed at a Top 30 university. I turned down a couple of fantastic scholarships at lower ranked and regional schools to attend the higher ranked institution. I’m a senior professional now and have peers in my organization and industry that went to undergrad schools I’ve never heard of. Looking back, I don’t think there was anything all that special about my alma mater (a large research institution). Like a pp mentioned, unless my DC express an interest in a field like investment banking or top tier management consulting, I don’t care about school ranking, and just want them to attend a school where they will thrive.
