For people who hire undergrads
Maybe I the answer is already obvious but I’m curious. Given that you’re in charge of picking between two candidates for a position, and that they have relatively the same stats/ECs (leadership, GPA, test scores, experience, etc.) but one goes to a t10 or t25 while the other goes to a non-target (t100 with broad placement)—who would get the job?
Obviously I’m the one at the non-target, and feel that the answer would be the target school student. Being at a non-target I have a fear that I’d be a victim to this in some way as I believe I could set myself to be a competitive applicant w/ an okay network too (although mainly because of relatives).
So I guess what I’m asking is how I can go even further to set myself apart? Or maybe I’m just overthinking it or it’s just chance?
Sincerely, One of you
Depends on who me and my bosses like more. Mostly my bosses.
