Not as much as you might think anymore. A lot of students with stellar college applications are running into financial issues and turning down the Ivies, Stanford, Claremont Colleges, Chicago, and Northwestern, and going to public universities with much lower costs (and often are able to get merit scholarships as well).
In our hiring, we have found that top performers from good state schools are much better employees than those from the Ivies or other "elite" schools - in fact there is somewhat of a negative correlation between college "elite status" and the performance reviews of employees five and 10 years out, if you exclude the very low-ranking schools. This may be due to motivation factors, social backgrounds, disappointment at the fact that once you start a job the school you graduated from doesn't buy you anything anymore, or other factors. But it is a strong correlation - top 25 percent grads from the top 30 state schools outperform top 25 percent students from elite schools as measured by promotion level, performance review rankings, and salary levels 5 and 10 years post-graduation in our corporation (a Fortune 100). 不知他这个样本多大，多少公司是这样，他这个top25%又怎么算？还有elite学校的好学生可能毕业后去公司的不多？
