Prestige in the US vs Prestige around the world

<p>I do think the elite univ. opens up doors that were inaccessible before. I have some friends who graduated from MIT, Stanford and they have told me that they had many job offers waiting for them before they graduated. The time i learned about this, i was awed… because after you graduate here from a Canadian Univ., you generally have to search months for a decent job. It probably has a lot to do with… ‘wow, this guy went to Princeton…he must be well qualified.’ As the saying goes… well i forget how the saying goes but first impression is the most important one. That is the extra edge elite univ. grads get.</p>
