Doesn't really matter if the brand is strong...a name is still a name. Whether it actually is better doesn't matter if people who matter *think* it is better.
There are certain places that live on their past reputation (I won't name names), and others that have deserved reputations as being "special." Having the name on your resume might open some doors, but they'll close if you don't know what you're doing. Unfortunately, the things you need to know are rarely taught in school...
