Love this thread !!!
If I may add my personal experience here, I myself am a product of a "top 10" school (In my case it was an IIT actually) but I dont work for a "major IT MNC" and I havent done my share of slum teaching (I am a bad person, what can I say !) and I never played in teams in college and didnt organise any college fest (severe lack of talent) .... none the less right after graduation IT HIT ME :
Almost every person I know that I graduated with is an almost perfect copy of the next. Its such a brilliant (read : "boring") system which manages to consistently produce people who are exactly alike
The more interesting realisation came when I was screening resumes for resruitment, on one hand I had a bunch of IIM-A grads (50% of whom are engineers hence clones of one another with 0 variation) and on the other were Oxford/LSE undergrads .... IT DAWNED UPON ME AGAIN
It dont matter if you played in you college team ... it does matter if you were in the national olympics team though !
None the less, still proud of my heritage
PS : buying a box of sugar free drinking chocolate in Belgium was the worst decision of my life ... too dark aint too good for you

The lessons learnt are :
(1) Dont write stuff if its not relevant or if no one cares (I helped organised 2 events in the most obscure college fest you can imagine .... >yaawwn<)
(2) Half of Oxford gets admission in order to help the university win the friggin boat race
(3) Its easier to get into "the US olympic rowing team" than the "Oxford team for the boat race"
