Don't want to offend anyone but it's night and day in my experience. One uconn alumni we hire in private equity fund accounting is easily worth two from the regional schools in as far as productivity and room for promotion goes.

The discrepancy is even more pronounced 5,10,15 years after school. All the uconn hires who've left our firm are Assistant Controllers, Controllers, Directors, Vice President, CFO now and the regional school grads hit a cap or had a much much longer road to the same promotions.

Does this mean there aren't superstars at the regional schools, absolutely not, but if we're talking about the average 💯.

I would much rather be taken care of a doctor or nurse who did their undergrad or nursing program at uconn for sure.
