I think we are still quite a long way away from removing the school bias.<p>In my experience, the large tech companies actively recruit from select few universities (and prefer applicants from those universities). The resume screeners &#x2F; sourcers are biased to look for top schools also. They often don&#x27;t want to risk spending time on a candidate from a school with which they are not familiar.<p>Most qualified applicants never have the opportunity to prove their skills in a phone screen (e.g. coding interview). The school bias continues to exist at the resume screening stage.<p>It&#x27;s not that different among startups (especially YC alumni).
