What a person working in a normal company doesn’t see are the MIT/Stanford grads that ended up at the most selective companies (companies more selective than those I listed above). And these highly selective companies tend to recruit the most talented graduates from highly selective colleges. It is not because it is impossible to find similar levels of talent in a state flagship, but because the concentration is much higher at a highly selective school which makes recruiting much easier.

@hebegebe…Absolutely!

The top half at Stanford either start the companies that the Flagship kids will want to work for in 5 years, or will be swallowed up by big money that most people don’t realize exists. The bottom of the class at Stanford is sitting in a cube at Google, et al.

The other thing that helps the MIT/Stanford kids are relationships that have delivered extraordinary kids in the past.
