> less prestigious schools that graduate a ton of professors, like UC Berkeley

How in the world can UC Berkeley be "less prestigious". It constantly ranks world top-10 in all rankings.

I was thinking ivy league. smaller, more selective schools.

Sure, but as a non-American I see it as more prestigious than e.g. Dartmouth, at least in STEM. Maybe some employers would prefer the Ivy based on selectivity though?

It's also literally the first / biggest university on this list in the table at the end of the paper.
