"Bachelor’s degree from a top-tier university"

Isn't it unfair to have a prejudice against someone who wasn't fortunate enough to study in a top university? I guess you have your hiring policies but shouldnt you at least consider a resume irrespective of where a guy studied from?

Thanks for the feedback for future postings. Top-tier in this case refers to high quality, and it was mentioned here more as a filtering mechanism than anything else. We actually care less about where you are from and more about what you are capable of doing. You're still more than welcome to submit your information. My apologies, as I didn't mean to offend anyone, and thanks again for the helpful feedback.

It's one of the many ways in which we discourage diversity in tech.
