My wife went to a #1/#2 school for her field (molecular cell bio.) It certainly didn't seem much better there.

No, but the odds of things turning out the way she intended are just barely good enough at a top school that it might be rational.
I agree it may not when compared to a top school for MBA or Computer Science. Still it opens more opportunity such as consulting in Big 3 or your boss has more contacts in pharma industry so there is a chance you will get some entry level opportunity in big pharma or biotech startups. But if you are from a middle tier state univ where you boss do research on "sleeping habit of frog or pink fluffly bunnies" then you are out of luck.
