I'm sorry, but I didn't get into Duke as a 17 year old. Does that mean my career prospects are shot for good, and that "Hooli-esque" companies shouldn't recruit

  I'd say the software engineering side of things are a bit different, the interview process and testing "is the gatekeeping". It might impact your ability to climb the ladder when you're competing for Sr Manager positions with a bunch of MIT/Standford/Harvard/etc type of graduates, depending on where you live.... ...but by then, you'd have crushed your early career and gone off and gotten a prestigious Master's Degree, or founded your own company and sold it to one of the bigger fish, earning your way into Sr Leadership...

  No it just means those companies won't be banging down your door. You have to seek them out.
