This article hit home for me because I see it all the time. I go to a large state school where a 2-3 of the Big4 show up to recruit, but undergrads rarely get offers. We don't pass technical screens (partly on us, partly on the focus of our DS&A classes), and very often we don't even get interviews. I think about this all the time and it concerns me. I'll never get into a top school now but I do have a big4 internship on my resume on an in-demand ML team - yet, I'm still going to be looked down upon compared to someone that goes to UIUC or Duke at minimum, not even considering people at HYPSM. Sometimes I wondered if there's a point in trying if I'm already so far behind.
