Did school prepare you?

I was reading an article and a famous hedge fund manager said that Wharton didn't teach him anything. I'm curious to hear what all of you who graduated from elite/target schools think about this. Did school prepare you for your career? If you can mention whether your school is a selective or not selective and whether it prepared you or not.
