In my office I can't spit without hitting a Harvard grad (believe me - I've tried). I have never found that they wear it on their sleeve.

maybe it's different with harvard law, or different in interviews where people are trying to project something, or maybe i just hit an unrepresentative group of people

ha, true. but if he just went through law firm interviews, i don't blame him. when it comes to first-year attorneys, a lot of firms think that where you went to school is more important than what you did in school. hell, yale doesn't even give out grades. whereas class rank can be do or die for most candidates, second year law students from yale can go into interviews and just say "i went to yale," as if any qualification beyond their acceptance is irrelevant.

thankfully, no one gives a shit where you went to school after you get the job. they just care if you win.

essentially they do through the honors/pass/low pass system, just not for first semester
