Alright, this may be an offensive/controversial question that I shouldn’t ask but I would really like an answer as an incoming BU freshman.
When Boston University students are applying for jobs/internships in Boston and a Harvard/MIT/etc. student applies for the same position, is it more likely that the Harvard/MIT/etc. student gets it? This would be assuming all else is equal (resume, experience, etc.) or that the Boston University student has superior qualifications. I am specifically talking about undergraduate positions in research labs, internships, etc. Any anecdotes/personal experience is very much appreciated!
