This is a job posting for one firm, weirdo
There’s a space for “other” for your college/uni in the list, not limited to the above |

Are you asking us to make suggestions of who should apply?
Doesn’t seem like the ad mentions anything about particular college |

| Illinois - UC is a great CS program |

UVA has a bad CS program. |

| The form is pretty basic and there is no way they are not looking for representation beyond a few schools. Those schools likely just have on-campus initial interviews arranged by their recruiting team or have in the past (and they just changed the title and a few specifics on an old job post). I've heard quant, fintech, and big tech intern and new grad hiring is going to be down, so good luck to all the applicants! |

+1 I think it's better to attend VT than UVA for CS/Eng. for job prospects. |

Illinois cs is excellent and a massive weed out program — if you can get thru it with a high gpa, you are golden |

| How is Columbia on there? It’s a fake Ivy. |

Golden as Stanford , MIT, Berkeley CS grads? |

UVA has a top-30 CS program, certainly not bad by any measure. It's the best CS program available in VA outranking VTech. |

| Definitely not representative of WS as a whole. Notably missing Dartmouth, Northwestern, Penn/Wharton. |
