<p>Not to blow the whistle or anything, but I’m skeptical of this assertion unless you come from a highly ranked (but not so highly-ranked that your major wouldn’t matter anyway) school, and are applying for some quantitative type of job that is also very competitive. It doesn’t seem like it would matter for most other things. Many people in many lines of work appear to be willfully ignorant of the mere existence of colleges/majors/people with degrees.</p>
