Waterloo is actually special (unlike Yale, MIT, or CMU). The internship program there is brilliant and does indeed produce significantly more experienced students on graduation.

It's also not particularly prestigious, which just goes to prove Justin's point.

That would be his point if he said "Ivy Leagues don't matter". But if we agree that someone from Waterloo stands out then credentials do matter. If I was looking for candidates, I would search first for "Waterloo" or other schools with programs like them.

It might not be prestigious to some people but where I work Waterloo carries a lot of weight. We also love Brown.
