<p>I don’t mean schools that are nearly impossible to get into like Harvard or Princeton i’m talking about schools like Northwestern, Cornell, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame and Berkeley or would an unknown state college be enough</p>
<p>Just going to college and getting a bachelor’s degree already puts you ahead of a lot of people…I feel like diploma from a school like Cornell or Berkeley could definitely increase your earning potential though…but it really depends on what you actually do during college (internships, jobs, ect.).</p>
<p>I agree with oceanpartier. You will have a higher advantage of graduating from a well known research institution. However, if you have done pretty much NOTHING. Then there’s really not much then. </p>
<p>That’s why it’s important to be involved in undergrad research, internships and any jobs if possible.</p>
<p>As stated above what you do during college helps. However i feel the only time your at a real advatage is if you attended an ivy</p>
<p>It depends on a lot of things like what your post-graduation plans are. Some directions are much more school-prestige-conscious than others (and some may care more about your school’s reputation in your major more than the school’s overall reputation).</p>
