Maybe that's true for tech in the Bay. But everywhere else, for any other field, the very first filter applied to a stack of resumes is degree/school.

Your technical/interpersonal skills are definitely more important, but odds are you won't get a chance to demonstrate it.

Yes, but they only look for the presence of the degree, not so much the pedigree of the school, barring Ivy leagues of course.
