[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's naive to think that any foreign university, apart from Oxbridge, will likely resonate strongly with the average U.S. employer, no matter how good those schools may be. They just generally lack name recognition here, and that is very likely to result in a competitive disadvantage when applying for jobs alongside candidates from schools which are better known in the U.S. Yes, some employers may be familiar with some foreign schools, and may even think highly of them, but I strongly suspect that will be a minority position. Caveat emptor. [/quote] I don’t necessarily think that’s accurate. There are a few schools that pretty much every educated person in urban areas will know, and certainly every HR department. McGill is one of them- over UT for some reason even though any Canadian will tell you UT is a harder admit. McGill has stronger name recognition than lots of strong SLAC and other US schools as well [/quote]
