* FWIW, I'll bet engineers from all the "top" schools get this sort of feedback. Obviously I haven't heard it because I'm a Boilermaker rather than a Wolverine, or Illini, or Badger, etc.
No doubt. I hear it a lot too with regard to the Big Ten schools. Pretty hard to go wrong with most all of them, to be very honest.

It's not just engineering.  Oddly one of the things I noticed about moving out of Michigan, was how much more clout having an MSU degree was.  Within the state, it was always, "oh, you went to the cow college, sorry you didn't get into Michigan."  Outside Michigan it was always, "wow, you went to a Big Ten school?"

I think it matters for your first job, but not beyond that.
This!!!!   Once you've had a job, what you accomplished and what you learned are more important than where you went to school.   As for grades...  a lot of 3.0 out perform 3.7's... I think there is a range of acceptability.  I'm usually more impressed with someone balancing school, activities and a part time job and still obtaining good grades.

Fine is Northwestern.

OK is Ohio State.

Impressive is Ivy and Stanford and Duke.

Some Ivy, not all.

The SEC is not the best P5 academically, but it probably is not the worst.  Lower half ...
