I went to Carleton for engineering which isn't exactly the highest ranking school. 6 years in the workforce, I found I am no less capable than any Waterloo graduate. In fact, I have hired as many bad Waterloo co-op students as I have good ones. Make the effort to learn, and it can't be as bad as you think it is. Coming from a brand name school certainly helps, but it's not the end of the world if you don't.

As a current Waterloo eng student, I fully endorse this student. I've had the unique chance to hire students and I've seen both very bright and very substandard people from the likes of Stanford and Waterloo. It's about how well the individual applies himself, more than the school. This is especially true in Canada where almost all accredited universities are on par with each other in terms of teaching standards.
