I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and have worked for a lot of companies, some very big names, and have been in a hiring position for the last 10 years or so. I’ve never once noticed or cared about an applicant’s university, nor has anyone I worked with. So, anecdotes be anecdotal.

Sounds like you're just projecting your own mentality on everyone you've ever worked with for some reason.

That’s probably true to an extent, but I have had many conversations with hiring folks. University never once came up. Anyway, my point is that anecdotal evidence is all I see in this discussion, so who knows what reality is?
