To be honest, with the exception of perhaps Stanford, the quality of the other degrees aren't going to impact someone's future options in a measurable way. Don't get me wrong, they are great degrees, but they don't really get moved to the top of the stack. The things that get a resume moved to the top of the stack include contacts thru networking, being different from the overwhelming number of applicants (being a minority or being a female or male in an environment historically dominated by the other gender) or being an honors graduate along with other prestigious academic accomplishments.

That is not even remotely true.
