If you don't go to a top twenty school (US News), your life is screwed.

<p>Everyone’s posting examples of rich, “made” people who didn’t go to a Top 20…or sweeping generalizations of “there have to have been Ivy grads who went crying home for somewhere to live..”</p>

<p>Of course there are exceptions (large or small) to everything.</p>

<p>But you’ll find that those who go to a Top 20 ON AVERAGE are more successful in their careers.</p>

<p>Though I agree it’s arguable whether this is because of the quality of the university or the quality of the applicants.</p>
