    How Important is where you went to architecture school when hiring? Is it as scrutinized as other professions like law and medicine?

    David,

    That is such a great question! I would be very interested in knowing what other experiences are like, but from the places I've been and people I have met, I haven't really seen it impact employment or be a factor for hire. This is all entirely based on my experience in my area though.

    Thank you for your time and help. My uncle is an attorney and where you went to school can be a factor in whether you can walk in the door. I believe presentation sets the tone for the attention to detail you give to everything else involved
