I don't see that at all. If anything, I think students here place more emphasis on the school they go to, which is why you frequently see students asking which uni is better for what, not to mention the relentless USYD/UNSW debates. In contrast, I never saw sort of discussion in the US. Also, American UG degrees are much more general, which is why students don't tunnel vision when choosing certain degrees like they do here. Higher degrees like med/law/pharmacy are only offered in grad school, and that's when they place some emphasis on picking better schools (and understandably so).
bruh, how has your location become austin, texas, USA?

I picked my uni choices solely based on rankings.

That's stereotype isn't it?
Having seen the work from my friends studying the same course as I do at other unis I've seen teaching quality varies a lot for the same course between unis as well and the general trend I've found is better ranked = more demanding workload and harder content.

However yes in the long run none of this matters. Rank may make things easier initially, such as getting internships, getting into companies etc but a good student will get in eventually nonetheless.
