[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that’s missing- most elite schools can’t support 100% of their classes being the same 3 majors. They need people to subscribe to their other departments.

It’s also good to have students with excellence in a lot of different areas. To be Frank, few people get famous off of engineering or science even at the elite level, so you wanna cast the net wide for the highest probability of getting an impactful, important alum[/quote]

This is true. Also in terms of creating a broad network that will benefit future alums in job searches you want to have people working in business and politics and academia and the non-profit world. Even if these people are not famous they will be a link between the school and the rest of the world. Keep in mind that not everyone who does hiring at places like Google or meta is an engineer -- some of them were business or marketing majors or English majors who became lawyers or whatever. And they can still help out the engineering students. You want people to associate the school's name with smart and productive people who know how to lead and think creatively and not just in one or two areas. It's not a trade school.[/quote]
