[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It also turns out that no one in the real world cares about where your kids are going to school.  Do you think that the top companies in Wherever do recruits from University of Wherever? They do. There are smart kids everywhere. [/quote]

Not true. At all. Nice try though. Kids from University of Wherever may get jobs at top companies but it’s through connections, not recruitment efforts by the top company. If you are unconnected and not #1 at University of Wherever, it’s pretty hard to get a job at a top company.  [/quote]

You really want to believe that because it fits with your world view that college rankings are real, and ALL the smart hardworking kids are in top 25 schools, and everyone from University of Wherever are dumb and less worthy. Alas, you are wrong.[/quote]

No, I'm not wrong.  I'm realistic. You're all in your feelings for whatever reason, but it has nothing do with a candidate being dumb and less worthy  It's all about access. I as an African American am all too familiar with the concept.  For years even though we were able to compete, we weren't given the opportunity. We were denied access. I certainly didn't don't think my entire race was unworthy or dumb, but I see how the world works. Yes, there are smart hardworking people everywhere, but the top companies aren't everywhere.  You can get a list of where top companies recruit and see for yourself. It's not proprietary information. They can't be everywhere so they go where they think they'll get most bang for their buck, which are top schools. [/quote]
