dp.. why? I know nothing about BC, but curious why you think so? Based on what? |
It's about the same list we always see - it's just lopping off the top 12. |
of course it belongs on the list. It's full of "just missed" Ivy students. Also has a #7 nationally ranked Finance undergrad degree. |
So, no surprises. Most of these would be on any list for those outside the ivies+4. Except for me I don't understand the relatively quick rise of U Florida. |
The article and the list don't actually seem to have anything to do with one another.
Why wouldn't the list be a compilation of the top 10 public and top 10 private colleges that the respondents indicate where they hire the most graduates? Makes no sense that it is just a list of schools with high standardized test scores (although, strange that they say if only more than 50% of the schools had kids reporting test scores...seems like that threshold should be much higher)...and not a list of where companies hire kids. |
The state of Florida has one or two full scholarship programs for Florida students who attend Florida public colleges. Also, UF does an impressive amount of R&D (funded research). |
This is hilarious. The article says very clearly before it lists the private schools "Our analysis excluded schools with fewer than 4,000 students, the eight old Ivies and four Ivy-plus schools—Stanford, MIT, Duke and Chicago."...so basically it is just listing the US News Rankings minus these schools and the SLACs. |
yep |
Ivies are loosing luster simply because the hiring managers are mostly 2nd tier elites or state uni grads. There aren't that many ivy grad hiring managers. There aren't that many ivy grads, period.
That said, the slippery slope here is that the 2nd tier universities are loosing steam as well. When the $90,000 price tag is factored in, their ROI is below that of state flagships. Next to the ivy pluses, state unis is the way to go. And the bonus is that there are more state uni grads hiring managers than 2nd tier elite grad hiring managers. They all pull for each other. . |
This isn't new is it? It seems that UF has been marching up the ranks in the last 10 years or so. Surely I could be mis-remembering my data. |

The Ivy grads I know are doing just fine this year. These top 10/top 20 lists are silly. Lots of great schools to choose from. |
I don't know what questions were asked but, here's what they looked at:
|
So glad to see Binghamton there. Happy to see SUNY represented. |
I mean this is wishful thinking. State Uni grads usually remain In-state or within a small region. They do not have the pull nationally, and few state schools have the rabid alumni network that for example BC or USC has. |
