ha thanks for the free advertising :) so, just to preempt any ad hominem attacks, here is what this article is NOT trying to say:
1.) people who did not go to 'name-brand' universities are somehow less intelligent or less deserving of professional success
2.) people who did go to 'name-brand' universities are somehow super awesome
3.) people who went to 'name-brand' universities are somehow more deserving of the advantages that are bestowed on them
