I still don't think it matters either way. The name of your college isn't going to determine your chances at self-made success. You're born with it.

I'd disagree because of the difference a professor, class, or surrounding classmates can have on an 18-22 year old person.

I'd like to prove my point a bit further, while PTJ was attending HBS he said this,

"This is crazy, because for what I'm doing here, they're not going to teach me anything. This skill set is not something that they teach in business school."
