The school on the degree matters for .0005% of the world.
I disagree. It matters in certain fields. If you want to apply to a top med, law or biz school, a degree from a top academic undergrad will be very helpful to have. If you want to get into finance right out of undergrad it will also matter. That said, I would rather hire a kid from a mediocre college who graduated at the top of his class over a kid who coasted at a top school.
