Is anyone else blown away by the level of talent in this younger cohort nowadays? We have interns and juniors doing solid mid level work.

When I graduated I interviewed with Jane Street and I graduated from essentially a no-name state school (Suny Oswego). I think I got a fair shake out of it.
Hardly no-name: that's where Doug Lea teaches! I've been seeing Oswego on his papers forever.

This seems fine. There are some schools where it is simply not worth allocating your finite amount of recruiting resources. It by no way means that there are not super smart people at those schools, just that the percentage of students that fit your hiring criteria is too low to justify spending time at those institutions.
it's probably more like if your school isn't an ivy, stanford, mit, whatever you're resume goes right in the trash. also that logic is super self perpetuating and I imagine could be used to justify other worse forms of discrimination (not saying at Jane Street but in general)

Why exactly is that "discrimination" and not, you know, simple evaluation? Is every company that doesn't hire based on a random number generator discriminating?
if not in : skip_interview_entirely return False ...as opposed to give every person a fair chance based on merit.
