There are some schools that break the mold. Particularly in Boston. Maybe not completely breaking the mold but the tail is quite longer. I went to a top-100 school and many of my class mates are at companies like NASA, Tesla, Google, Twitter and iRobot.
At the same time, as someone who has tried, the name definitely doesn't get you in the door like a top 5 school might. You need to work harder to prove yourself. (a LOT harder) And Google sure as heck has never gone to my alma mater's career fairs.
