I don't think it's true that companies disregard the ivies and instead look for leadership recruits at no name schools. Source?

Not Ivy =/= No Name School
CMC has no reputation out East, but has a massive west coast PE/IB alumni network.
Danaher's GM Development Program (leadership track program) targets Carnegie Mellon
You need to attend an elite university to succeed, but an elite university doesn't have to be an Ivy. Selective public schools like Cal, Mich, UVA, UT Austin, UCLA, etc are feeders as well as Selective Privates like Tufts, UChicago, BYU, CMU, CMC, NYU, USC, etc.

CMU is close to am elite school so that goes against the argument
Yes, but it's not an Ivy, as you mentioned in your comment. Unless you are using Ivy to represent the 50+ top universities in the US which are a mix of public and private schools.

I was a part of GE Aviation's Leadership Program and they definitely started looking towards especially more local schools towards the end of my program. They found that people who were from more local schools were more likely to stay longer term after the program finished. Most of the people they hired from the larger schools would leave pretty quickly after finishing the program.
