Justice Thomas HATES Rankings - stolen from JDOasis
This article originally appeared in JDOasis, but I thought it was applicable to banking/consulting as well and deserved its own post here. Its short, have a read:

What do you think?
forget it
The difference between, say, Rutgers and Harvard (two random schools I came up with) is that you can go deeper into the candidate pool at Harvard to find smart, driven people. The top students at Rutgers would crush at any school in the country and are just as capable to do banking at any BB.

Awesome. If I ever get in a position of hiring power, I'll make a conscious effort to give non-target kids a chance. Insane how we make such a big deal out of how driven you were to get into a college when you were 16, which 95% of the time is more a consequence of your upbringing/environment than some kind of intrinsic brilliance (unlike what everybody at ivy leagues schools constantly tell themselves). Sure it makes sense from HR's perspective as a signaling mechanism, but so does filtering on race, gender, and coming from a rich neighborhood (what Thomas seemed to be alluding to). Fuck that.
If you took all the ambitious non-target prospective monkeys on here, put them in a time-machine, and had them entering their freshman year of high school again with the knowledge they know now of how much of a difference it makes to attend a target if one wants to pursue IBD or management consulting, I'd bet that every single one of them would at the very least get into a semi-target (whether their parents are willing to foot the bill is another issue). When I was in high school, neither me nor any of my classmates could've told you what Wharton was.

Just like how I deleted my previous post, I wrote some long one again and deleted it. I'm like a fly to shit with these convos because it's such a hot button of mine. In short, 110% agree.
You all forget that the reason why target schools might be more targeted is at least to some part because they offer better education and not just because they let less applicants in...
