[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another hiring partner weighing in. We hire the person with experience. So long as I have heard of your school, you did well and have experience that lines up with our field, you get an interview.  Does not matter of it is Princeton or Vanderbilt or Ohio Wesleyan or Cal State Poly or CNU or High Point etc.  Once you get the interview, we hire the person with the best personality and experience in our field.  The name of the school does not matter.

- Signed person who went to a fancy school who now works along side people who went to schools I had never heard of  making a nice amount of $$ and fair amount of prestige.[/quote]

Yes, you hire the person with experience but most people who are applying for internships don't have experience.  They have their school name, their grades, and hopefully somebody in their world who knows the person who hires the interns.  The people that you hire may have gone to a non-fancy school, but they did something (top of their class, great connections) to get the internship to get their first job to get the experience that leads them to you.
