So-Called "No Name" Colleges

I’m not talking about being an average joe and having a decent life. (Which is you.)
I’m not talking about students who want a life style like you.

I’m talking about the students wanting to be the C.E.O of Goldman Sachs on Wall Street, trying to be a senior advisor to the president, or Director of the United Nations.

Notice the difference.

There are very few majors where the name of the school matters. Students who want to work on Wall St. may need to shoot for a limited number of schools, but @Lindagaf is correct that people can do well with degrees from one of the ~3,000 other universities in our country.

When you begin applying to colleges next year you may want to remember that the admissions at the few schools that do recruit for Wall Street is highly
competitive. Attitude matters.
