[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that the article is 90% about how these schools are incorporating AI into really everything throughout the curriculum.

Wasn't expecting that to be the thrust of it.[/quote]

No it didn't. It just said the reality of AI is changing hiring. The quote I took away was “The most promising talents today are beginning to emerge from institutions that prioritize intellectual rigor over inherited prestige.” And - "That Ivy League-wariness persists, with 37% of respondents this year saying they are less likely to hire Ivy League grads than they were five years ago, and only 6% saying they’re more likely to do so."

Talent matters. And companies recognize that all the hooked this and that at Harvard and Princeton generally aren't great hires in 2026. Students at colleges that prioritize real talent tend to be better. I mean this is a pretty obvious observation for anyone that has been paying attention for the past five years. [/quote]

Agreed and as someone who hires for a bank in NYC, we know we can get the same quality of graduate from these so-called "New Ivy" private and/or public universities. We have meetings where colleagues share how they've been more impressed by student from schools off this list. This is a very good list.[/quote]

I don't disagree with you that a bunch of the New Ivy schools are targets for NYC bank recruiting (that's really not anything new)...but you can't honestly claim that there aren't a ton of say Wharton kids getting hired as we speak for Wall Street jobs in far greater numbers.[/quote]
