The same can apply to accounting.

I'm going to make this example up (for the sake of discussion.)

You are at a Big 4 recruiting event. PWC and KPMG have recruiters and managers from UBC. EY and Deloitte from SFU.

You have students from UBC, SFU, BCIT, Capilano, Kwantlen, and let's throw in VCC. Management from PWC and KPMG already know what kids from UBC have done, and are potentially capable of while EY and Deloitte know their talent pool from SFU.

These students are already at an advantage. Not only is there some form of favourtism or cronyism already happening, there could be internal and personal recommendations from professors and associates who attended the same schools.

This leaves the students from the other colleges at a disadvantage. Will these students be considered? Maybe. But they better have something more to offer than the candidate pool.

Accounting, engineering, heath care - it doesn't matter. In the end, it's about who you know and what you know.
