I suspected the CFOs might have gone to swanky schools. But nope - Baylor, Berkeley, and Boston University.
It seems like it's only some old timey Wall Street firms that are still living in 1955 and only recruit from the schools their grandpappies went to that care about rankings. Other than that, I don't think it matters that much - provided it is a recognizable school.
It has never been true that CEOs and Senators and Presidents only went to top schools. However, top schools are significantly overrepresented in the ranks of business and political titans. It is foolish to dismiss this and insist what school you went to doesn't matter, provides no advantage.

The question was concerned with the potential deleterious effects of going to a lowly ranked college, not the benefits of going to one which is highly ranked.
What question was that? I missed it.

Moving up the ranks in corporate America isn’t about academic pedigree.
But it’s also much harder to become a F250 CEO. Much fewer of them than bankers, consultants and biglaw partners.

Does going to a school outside of the t75 hurt you socially? Like does it impact you negatively by clearly placing you in the hierarchy of selectivity/average test scores, gpa, etc? Wouldn't it be better to not go to college, start a business, etc. than to have a blot on your "resume" forever?
There are a lot of Ivy League grads who end up working t75 plus college graduates. How many t25 graduates actually do anything? Most end up in some normal boring job that did not change the world.

Most people do not care one iota. For those few segments of society that do care, you need ivy/plus to make the top impression. T75 is not a real thing. Ivy/plus is but only for a very specific group

Walmart’s Chief Legal Officer is impressive - Harvard JD with White House posts and clerkship with Justice Kennedy.
Oh wait - she went to a satellite campus of Minnesota for her BA.

Let’s be real. No one cares about your BA - it gets buried below advanced degrees and work experience.
