[quote=Anonymous] Look at The Top 30 Schools

The data for this graphic comes from a study by College Transitions, which looks at the top feeder schools for 12 different companies with employees in Silicon Valley, including Twitter, Alphabet, DocuSign, Meta, and eight other large businesses.

Using publicly available data from LinkedIn, the study looked at more than 70,000 entry level engineers and IT employees at these 12 different companies, and identified where they received their undergraduate degree.

Here are the findings of the top 30 feeder schools across all 12 companies:

Rank (Total)	Institution	# Employed	Top Employer

1	Carnegie Mellon University	1,356	Google
2	University of Southern California	1,252	Google
3	University of California, Berkeley	1,212	Google
4	Georgia Institute of Technology	1,094	Microsoft
5	University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign	877	Google
6	University of Washington	876	Microsoft
7	University of California, San Diego	795	Google
8	University of Waterloo	793	Google
9	University of California, Los Angeles	704	Google
10	Stanford University	661	Google

While this research is far from exhaustive, it provides a glimpse of where 12 of the largest companies in Silicon Valley source their talent, and what it takes to make it into the big leagues.

Adjusted Proportional Rankings

Next, let’s look at the ranking after being adjusted proportionally for each school’s undergraduate enrollment numbers (so smaller schools can be fairly represented in the data):

Rank (Adjusted)	Institution	# Employed	Top Employer
1	Carnegie Mellon University	1356	Google
2	Columbia University	651	Google
3	Stanford University	661	Google
4	Massachusetts Institute of Technology	405	Google
5	California Institute of Technology	78	Google
6	Harvey Mudd College	72	Google
7	Georgia Institute of Technology	1094	Microsoft
8	University of Southern California	1252	Google
9	Rice University	235	Google
10	Harvard University	260	Google
