That is not what schools tell you to justify their rates. Berkeley is a state school and one of the cheapest schools there is.

You live in some dilusional world where life is fair. Reality is that they WILL NOT hire you.

Sorry to say this but i interned in some prestigious law firms- guess what, EVERY SINGLE lawyer there had a brand name degree. I was talking to one of the new hires and she pretty much bluntly said " i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for my NYU LLM"

That is reality when you are talking about “prestige” jobs.

Sure a guy from Idaho U might end up in Goldman Sachs, but the trials he would have to endure would greatly out weight anything else the average employee there went through.

Also, go look at where they recruit, Idaho U is not on the list- tons of schools that you would think would be on the list actually are not.

Getting those jobs has NOTHING to do with how smart you are btw. I am not saying PHD from Idaho U is not smart- you are mistaken if you think you are hired based on your intelligence for those type of jobs. When clients walk in, it matters what they see on your back wall, simple as that.
