This is pretty wild...
Cambridge University has discovered that a pretty face can actually prevent people from gaining a job interview if it is not complemented by a good education.
Likewise, more visually-challenged candidates could end up struggling to be hired if they went to a good university.
Experts at Judge Business School, Cambridge believe the phenomenon occurs because hirers become confused by candidates who do not fit into normal expectations.
Attractive people are generally expected to be better educated, and more successful while the opposite is true for unattractive people. When applicants do not follow the pattern, recruiters assume they will be a bad fit for both high and low status positions.
It's over for HotDumbCels and UglySmartCels.
Guess now we see why those rich people were trying to get their good looking kids into quality schools by paying off the admissions offices.

Being good-looking is a bad career move if you went to a lowly university
Attractive people might seem to have hit the jackpot in the evolutionary lottery, but when it comes to job hunting, they do not hold all the winning numbers, research suggests.
