[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. DC graduated from UM and had a great experience. The alumni network got her both a summer internship and her first job out of UM. The education was strong (DC was an econ major which is a top department there). DC was also in the honors program which was a plus. We were full pay and no regrets.[/quote] Kids from many other schools can say the same thing. But I’ll add in big co corporate America these days, no one is hiring because of alumni network stuff. Not sure if people understand how things have changed in the last decade. I hire and have run intern programs as has my dh, and hiring someone bc they went to your school, you know them, they’re from your frat, etc is pretty much not permitted. [/quote] Explain what changed in the last decade? My nephew got a summer internship at a Fortune 100 through a fraternity brother alum that was on campus recruiting. Now, it got him an interview (one of maybe 10 kids at the school getting an interview out of 100 applying)…he then had to get the offer on his own. However, the brother was pushing hard for him and it was just an internship so hiring people weren’t going to push back all that much. Did great, was asked back for next summer (junior now) and feels good about FT offer. That sounds about how one would expect a connection to work…still a process but big leg up.[/quote]
