Abstrakt: The article explores how having a degree from an Ivy League or other elite university may not hold the same value in the job market as it once did.

The changing perception of elite universities is evident in the skepticism and criticism faced by graduates, with some employers, like Adam Leitman Bailey, preferring to hire from less prestigious schools due to concerns about connections over talent. McKinsey & Co. and Bain & Co. are broadening their recruiting efforts to include graduates from a wider range of schools, as traditional markers of success like grades and test scores become less reliable indicators of talent.
