Yeah, my brother was hired by the #2 law firm in the country, on Wall Street, because he had a law degree from the Univ. of Michigan and wrote for their Law Review and clerked for a Supreme Court judge. If he had graduated from the ASU law school, he never would have been interviewed. But he ended up hating it and left. So in the end, it didn’t matter that he went there. My friend in Phoenix went there too, and is a stay-at-home mom. So it didn’t matter for her either. Her husband went to a regular law school and works for himself, billing at $300/hour.
My husband has an engineering degree from Univ of Nebr at Lincoln, and he is in the top 5% of salary for his occupation, so that several promotion job offers he received had to be turned down, because he would earn less money. He is maxxed out, and nobody cares he has only a bachelors degree. He has the character, intelligence, creativity, and he can sell the company based on his honest good work.
A survey of the Fortune 500 CEOs found that more than half went to little known public schools.
For these reasons, I don’t see the emphasis on getting approval from an Ivy league admissions counselor.
Seek approval from yourself. Develop your creativity, work ethic, flexibility, morals, relationships, spiritual life, humility, and service to God and others.
