Is it possible to 'hide' a degree?

Is there a thread somewhere of the people here who got into reputable grad schools after getting a degree at one of the Big 3? It might be helpful for newbies to see that yes, you can get into a good or even great grad program with a Big 3 degree. I just got into UIUC's Master's in Accountancy program, and this accounting department is ranked as the third best accounting school in the U.S. Before I had decided on TESU (then TESC), I saw somewhere online that someone with a TESC degree had gotten into a Harvard grad program. I wish I could remember where I saw it. If the goal includes grad school, then a Big 3 degree should not pose any difficulty at all.

As others have pointed out, it is helpful to have your goals clearly laid out. Some employers won't care about the name of the school where the undergrad was obtained, but others will. For example, from what I understand, government jobs just want to see the undergrad and not so much the name of the school. But for high-paying jobs in the private sector, hiring managers will care more about where the undergrad was obtained and name recognition matters. This is why sometimes advice is given to obtain a degree from a state school in the local area, since the name is recognizable to local hiring managers.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Clearly defined goals will help navigate the nuances.
