As to effect of school on later success, the folklore still suggests it is the school, but longitudinal studies continue to show, it make no difference at the undergrad level once one controls for the student. At the grad or professional level it does make an initial difference in salary. However, a recent poll of top CEO’s found that they tended to be from state schools, and the Ivy grads worked for them. Also 61% of the students at Harvard Law are from non Ivy schools.
