I've never bothered to research the history of why a magazine somehow became the kelley blue book of schools. But I've often wondered it...

You'll probably also get plenty of networking out of the deal as well. "Oh, you went to XYZ, I/my best friend/my husband/my mom went there too!" It's an immediate bonding with the person interviewing you.

Or, they know some knuckleheads that came out of there, and go, oh. THAT school. Ok. lol ITT Tech used to be here, for instance...

I'm talking about legit RA schools - like your local state university, or private (around here in San Diego, it would be UCSD, SDSU, CSU San Marcos, University of San Diego, Point Loma Nazarene, etc.).

I agree about the local college thing. Around here it really does have more clout than most anything else. Sure, some impressive name will get attention but for the average MBA or whatever, you'll get your foot in the door/be able to develop a connection a lot faster if they recognize the school.
