[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many employers do you think really digest the rankings? And if they do, which of the 100 different rankings do they memorize?

Colleges fall into three categories:

1. HPYSM
2. Schools that raise questions about why you went there, whether the degree is “real”  and what kind of employee you would be.
3. Everything in between.[/quote]

Not exactly. Nowadays the only schools you can be certain produce the highest quality students are MIT and Caltech, HPS have a lot of $$$ and legacy admits. And in terms of overall quality, schools like Yale, Duke, Penn, Columbia, etc. all virtually produce the same types of kids. I would say cutoff for quality starts after the T20ish schools, and you notice a drop off.[/quote]

MIT has athletic hooks. So you’re really only sure about CalTech. So it’s just 250 students a year or so. [/quote]

People making these claims about a drop off in employability quality: can you please state your qualifications and experience in hiring?

Because I assure you that you are all completely incorrect, and there is no data that I’ve ever seen to support your assertions.

And if you want to see mine first, no problem: I’ve been hiring in technology for 30 years.[/quote]
