Employers will not know you are in the bottom 10% (if you are) at UChicago vs they WILL know that you are at Penn St vs UChicago. Much of this comes down to what you hope to do. For investment banking, stategy consulting, investment management, hedge funds, private equity, the difference between UChicago and Penn St is immense and the difference between relatively easily being able to get a job vs unlikely to get a job at all. For careers in finance/marketing at Fortune 500 companies, the difference of the value-added of UChicago over Penn St is not nearly as pronounced.
