[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many elite colleges don’t have engineering programs either. That does not mean that MIT isn’t elite.

Notre Dame holds its own with virtually any university in the country outside of the top five. To suggest otherwise is to be decades behind the times. Or to be an anti-Catholic bigot . . . [/quote]

I am Catholic and send my kids to a Catholic school. I also was on our hiring committee for years. Chicago blows ND out of the water. ND is a bro school. [/quote]
Maybe it depends on the industry. People keep talking about how the academics at Chicago are sooo much better. And maybe they are. But when I'm hiring someone, I'm not hiring them solely on academics. That's why the 4.0 kid doesn't always get hired over the 3.5 kid. Yes, academics play a role, but so too does emotional intelligence. Can they work as a team? Can I trust them to do well with our clients (e.g. be personable, not awkward, etc.)? Are they good at building relationships with others? And sorry, but there is a large contingent of UChicago kids for whom that is just not true. [/quote]

June Cleaver again.  Yes, my husband said that in so many words, but I didn't want to insult the UChicago people.[/quote]
