<p>opportunities certainly differs. you don’t get oracle visiting your school if you’re not stanford, mit, caltech, berkeley, brown, or cmu. amazon probably won’t visit your school if it’s not uwashington, cornell, berkeley etc etc. on the other hand, de shaw, goldman, morgan stanley probably visits only select few school like penn, stanford, and yadda yadda. So my point is, going to these schools certainly will give you an edge when applying for a job. Also more free food if you go to top school (the company visits and job lunch usually serves good food :))</p>
