San Jose State is ranked #22 on the list of raw numbers, above schools like Duke, Brown, Harvard, and UVA.

Nope. Citadel isn't that big and they actually relocate most of their employees from NYC to chicago.

This is an old article but it still holds true they hire most of their employees from NYC and poach them: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2007-09-23-0709220030-story.html

Amazon is listed under "engineering" firms. You're right though, some companies are missing and this is, by all means, an incomplete list. I mean San Jose State probably produces a lot of grads into those industries, too, but adjusted for their large undergraduate population, their numbers become less impressive.

Why is amazon under engineering but not tech even though apple is double listed? Also agree that facebook being missing is quite suspicious.

No. Most of their operations are in New York. Chicago is really just an afterthought. They do undergraduate recruiting from schools like HYP, Wharton/Penn, Columbia, and MIT. and I wouldn't be surprised if they are still the most represented colleges for kids who move into Citadel after a few years in IB.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the rankings remain the same. But like a PP said, maybe U of Washington gets a boost because of Amazon.

PP lacks reading comprehension.

Odd omissions on the tech front, and it's not as if those are hard to source as every kid updates their LinkedIn immediately after getting an internship and FT offer. Maybe someone can email the website to ask them about it.

And I know T14 law is a thing but is T25 medical school? I've never heard of that, seems arbitrary, and puts the finger on the scale of schools with an alleged T25 medical school because often the top feeder is the university's own undergrad. Getting into any of the 200 or so US medical schools is considered a feat, I don't see the point is cutting that off at T25. I mean GWU is considered #60 medical school, is any parent going to be upset their kid only got into GWU medical school? Of course not.

There are two kinds of IT companies, one focusing on software, one on hardware. The latter has lots of people involved in the supply chains, manufacturing and logistics. Apple has a large sale people working in Apple Stores. Google has lots of jobs in product managements, which tend to be filled by no-tech people. So this makes the comparison difficult.

And today's IT star can be tomorrow's duds. Do people still remember these internet stars: Sun Micro, Lucent, Cisco, Nortel, not to mention IBM?

Citadel is a small shop with fewer than 2k employees.

There is no such thing as a T14 law school "feeder." Basic correlation-is-not-causation. Original post is misleading.

You are legitimately deranged and, it seems, a conspiracy theorist to boot.

^Don't mind the Northwestern/UChicago hater on DCUM. They literally hunt out threads on here that mention those two schools and will go out of their way to post the same boring insults ad infinitum.

Public universities admit applicants by major, and it's often next to impossible to switch majors. If one normalizes by the number of students in the related majors, it will be a total different story.

I like this list. Very helpful. Thanks!
