I don't really think it's true. At least a few years ago, I saw statistics that one of the highest represented universities at Apple was San Jose State — simply due to being large and local.
I recently had the opportunity to interview 3 fresh college graduates for Apple jobs, so out of curiosity, I looked up their colleges to see what kind of filters the recruiters are applying (I thought all 3 were well qualified). 2 of the 3 went to universities ranked between 10-20 in Computer Science in the US, the 3rd went to a college that is not ranked in any discipline in the US News rankings.
So I highly doubt that the filtering is as narrow as is claimed. Unpredictable and not particularly accurate, I'll easily believe.
