>your undergrad doesn't matter! Grad school is what matters

How many of you little brainlets still delude yourselves with this sort of thinking? Daily reminder that if you go to a mediocre state school, you will NEVER attend a top tier school, regardless of how good your grades are, how good your test scores are, and how good your research is.

>The reasons for the disparity are easy to track, said Christopher Avery, a professor of public policy at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government who has written extensively on college as an agent of social mobility. Students who earn a degree from an elite college, even those with unimpressive grades and test scores, are simply too far ahead of those who don’t, he said.


>What’s disturbing about this research is that it shows that even if you distinguish yourself as a great student at a Tier 4 school, and by some miracle you get into a good grad program, you aren’t likely to wind up with the tools you need to ever catch up to those people who went to a more selective four-year college,” Dr. Avery said. “You want to think that at some point the playing field is level, but the truth is increasingly clear that the answer is it probably never is. By high school, it’s pretty much over.

Also, quotes from hiring managers at big engineering companies when it comes to hiring, on quora:

>"I'll be blunt:if you are committed to doing EE, you absolutely must graduate from Berkeley or another top school."
>"If you're interested in startup companies, (and didn't go to a top tier school) many won't even look at your resume: they've got so many coming in from the top schools, it's not worth their time.
>"School is the first thing I look at. You mentioned CSULB. A 4.0 from that school would be competitive with a sub-3.0 from top UCs, such as UCLA, or Berkeley"

Where were you when non-top tier school cucks got BTFO?
