Well you at least agree that having UW Madison hurts my resume a lot for that field. For many people who go to Umich or Ivy League schools, having the simply the option of going into investment banking is perhaps the single greatest benefit of getting the education. There are many departments at UW Madison that, by ranking, are better than Brown University or Umich, but what the benefit if you just end up working at Best Buy, while the Umich/Brown kids are working at Goldman Sachs.
