Press on your resume

No. In my experience, they don't even really care what school you went to. Harvard or Yale might get you that super prestigious job that 10,000 people applied for. But for 99% of the jobs on the market, 99% of the schools qualify you for the job. They care that you got a degree and your GPA (but that's only true for entry level jobs; once you get a job, you can take your GPA off your resume).

Would putting favorable press about the schools you attended be a good idea on your resume? Especially if you are an entry level candidate?

depends on the press but I really don't think I would under any normal circumstance...

I want to a school that routinely touts the fact it is one of the top private research universities in the country, but I don't think ir would help me get a job to stick that next to my college (might even hurt..)

on the other hand, including that I did extensive research work culminating in a publication might helped... I'm in biology research so...

in other words... what you did and what you studied is important, and while where you did it is also important, you don't need to tell people why where you studied is important.
