“Impressive” Colleges

[Anonymous]

As an employer, I am much more impressed from a great graduate school program and how student was able to succeed in that.

No need to waste more time and money.

Not impressive.

Princeton and Chicago in private colleges because there is no grade inflation.

Looks like the Ivies curve to just about an A-. Chicago curves to a B- average grade.

MIT depends on LORs a lot. This means that kids with adults willing to write glowing recommendation even if falsified get in. My kid turned them down because this dishonest kid from the earlier class had got in and was attending. If that’s their definition of “nice”, my kid wanted no part of it! Is very happy at the other school in Cambridge.

But then MIT also had this —

So they trust ANYONE and ANYTHING!

Is that really impressive??

Substitute Princeton for Yale, and it's Michael Lewis, who has gone on to become a best-selling author.

Yes I'm result oriented.
best-selling author is very impressive regardless of any school.
duh

admission to some brand name colleges and majoring in some mediocre stuff is not impressive until displaying some impressive results.

We’re all results oriented when we hire. The reality is that everyone wants to leverage HYPSM’s screening. With lesser schools, we get more people who interview well and have great GPAs but flame out. This happens occasionally from T5, but less often.

Georgia Tech Aerospace Engineering is more impressive than Yale art history or Princeton gender study.

Just cut to the chase and say, we’re “all” credentialists.

Good point.
In fact, seriously employers are impressed with Northeastern.
That's what really matters.

Well, any college where acceptance rate is below 10% is pretty selective, has intelligent and engaged student body and a good environment to learn is pretty impressive.
