UPenn vs. UChicago vs. Brown

I spent my summer in UPenn last year and while it didn’t really “charmed” me, I can really picture myself studying at Penn and being a student there. Truth be told, I don’t know what I feel about Penn and I don’t want to make the mistake of attending it based on rankings… Do rankings really matter for career finding? I mean, is there really much of a difference between saying “I graduated from Penn, Brown, or Chicago”? Or they tend to have the same effect on employers? I know college shouldn’t just be about jobs and I really value the gift of academics. But in the end, all these 3 provide fairly the same academics (right?) and jobs always matter.

Thanks for the feedback :)
