note, however. that flashy university does not have to equal ivy or a uni where you have to take out a mortgage to go to. there are a lot of prestigious state schools out there (albeit not in utah, unless you consider BYU a different kind of prestigious)

It’s pre-interview picking.

(Most Employers don’t call in all applicant for interview.)

also (at least in stem) most employers don’t even actually look at your resume. gets scanned for buzzwords and maybe if you’re lucky you end up in the shortlist of resumes they actually look at
