"Oh, you graduated from Auburn, well step to the front of the line!" said no hiring manager ever. Our HR loves grads from Georgia, Alabama and Ole Miss, and says they're generally better prepared to succeed in a team environment. Unless you're building rockets or curing cancer, social skills are every bit as important as ACT scores, and there's not many people building rockets or curing cancer. If that's your bag, Georgia Tech and Emory are probably your best best. That's where the smart kids go.
Cute. Ever heard of Tim Cook? Or Jimmy Rane? Harbert Construction?
You're just digging your hole deeper. Auburn men and women have gone into space, built successful companies, run Fortune 500 companies, and yes, we built rockets (von Braun directly credited an AU grad with enabling the success of the Saturn V's F-1 engines) and we might have some people working on curing cancer. We have more astronauts than the three schools you listed - combined. If your HR really has that preference, then they're as moronic as you are. Go ahead, dig some more.

Cute. Ever heard of a basic logical fallacy known as "argument by anecdote"? William Faulkner attended Ole Miss. Your average Ole Miss student is mildly literate. Reagan attended Eureka College. As a result, are their alumni running the free world?
Your response was not the checkmate you believe it to be. You just demonstrated that you believe cherry picking a statistically insignificant percentage of alumni proves that your university is world class, despite all evidence to the contrary. By the way, there's a good reason why Tim Cook, nor any other billionaires save one, live in Alabama. Those who've had tremendous success from your state universities flee it to live and raise their families elsewhere.

I’ve known a good number of Alabama baws (and girls) that went to LSU.
