Didn't Zuckerberg attend Harvard? I think that part of the appeal of these elite schools is the filtering system that you have to go through in order to be even offered a place there, very high grades and extra curricula achievements. It wouldn't surprise me much if "Dropped out of Harvard" is better to have on a resume than "Graduated top of class in community college".

But isn't that kind of the problem? Somebody like Zuck doesn't bother finishing, but FB culls mostly kids who graduated top-tier. And Dropped out of Harvard probably is better than graduated top of class in a CC, because these aren't fully comparable places. I'd much rather hire a person who finished their education in local state school than the person who couldn't be bothered with 4 whole years in one of the most competitive admissions schools in the country.
