And still a mere semester at Stanford or year at Facebook still seems to stand out over all. The elite Silicon Valley institutions are extremely efficient at attracting, filtering and acquiring the best of the best. Their simple mention on a resume signals strongly to middle managers the world over that "the right stuff" has fallen into their lap, to the detriment of the rest of us.
