Top tier schools can be public or can have scholarships. When you have millions of submissions, you have to draw the line somewhere.

Or go do something incredible! No one will care what you do then.

[Scunner54]

Not everyone can afford to go to a "top tier school". Quite a narrow minded view of applicant quality.

[HypnotizeCampPosse]

@Scunner54 totally agree

I doubt the salary is really that high. So why is there such an immense number of people willing to put their time and effort toward obtaining a job at Google?

I can imagine that the competition would be immensely fierce and you would require very strenuous university degrees. The only time when the above is worthwhile is when the salary is HIGH! I'm talking $200,000 +. That's why I understand people that aim to become stock brokers or medical specialists.

Way to use many words without actually saying anything...Saying that your resume needs to "stand out" and that going to "a good school and getting good grades helps" is common sense. This looks like two people who are full of themselves and just wanted to make a video. Is this what google management is like? If so, Facebook will take over the internet shortly.

So I seen a Google street view car last year and I stopped and talked to him. I asked how to get a job driving the car around. He said you gotta be lucky I guess. Asshole answer when I was being serious!

@Scunner54 Google is so powerful they have the right to choose best of the best.
