If I may... name dropping is name dropping, whether it's a college or a celebrity.
It happens a lot in our industry, and frankly reflects very poorly on the person who does it.
If you feel you got a good education, you should be proud of where you went to school, no matter the name. I know, an Ivy or a "big name" always sounds better than "Podunk Tech". But any good interviewer is going to be interested in what you can DO, not as much what creds you have. Yes, interviewers look for good training in your background. But much more important is that you do your job well. And you can do that without any training at any named university or program - many excellent SMs have. An interviewer who falls for the name game will learn quickly that it's experience over impressiveness everytime, hands down.
(The worst ASM I ever had went the one of the top Big Name SM programs in the US and worked for a top opera house after that. She was absolutely terrible.)
