Title says it all. Wondering if it affects where we get hired or if it affect us under anything pharmacy related.

if you want to get into a residency, and work in a clinical or hospital pharmacy then yes-- you would want to get into a more reputable pharmacy school. if you want to work in retail, then no it does not matter where you go as long as you are a RPh.
Let's play devils advocate for a second... (and being vague and brief because I am typing from my phone)...
Approximatley 25-30% of students in PGY1 pharmacy practice residencies are from top ten-fifteen schools. Obviously, one could argue that the type of students the top schools attract are different than other schools. For example, the top schools are associated with large medical schools / research universities... thus drawing in students who want to take those opportunties. But that is still a very high percentage if you ask me....
Interesting stat.
I am more interested in knowing where he got those numbers from.

If by interesting you mean what comes out of a bull when he goes #2 then you're correct. Pharmacy schools don't rank themselves nor do they submit stats to for others to rank so saying you go to a top ten school or whatever is a measure of your school pride/arrogance/ignorance/whatever.
