Too much prestige

How good could the worst (or say, bottom 20%) of students at MIT or Caltech be? I’d be surprised if a company’s thought process was “Students from there are too smart for us so we won’t recruit there.” Something more sensible might be “Students from there reject our offers” or “Students from there leave our company after a very short amount of time.” Given, I don’t really know.

AFAIK, top schools are pretty useless for those who are at the bottom of their class. It’s all the same as being at a lesser school.</p>
