[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a school currently rated at 136.  I ended up working for a FAANG. Sure, it took me longer to get there, but I got there with hard work, and some luck - right place, right time.

One of my kids will probably end up at a T100 or so.[/quote]

Kind of a follow-up...location helps a ton too.  San Jose State isn't even ranked as a national university...but it sends lots of kids to FAANG because of where it is located and because FAANG companies work with the school to design programs to train kids.[/quote]
pp here. Yep. And that's where I went.  :mrgreen: [/quote]
adding... this was back in the 90s though, before FAANGs had a tight relationship with the universities there.

Location for your area of interest definitely helps a lot.  If you can't get into a T20 for your major, go to a university in an area that has a lot of jobs in your field.

that is what my DC will be doing.  Our flagship is ranked much higher but doesn't have the major DC wants.  So they are looking at a T100-110, and one that people around here consider a commuter school, but it's got the major DC wants and in an area that is known for that field.   [/quote]
