[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the branding power of Harvard or MIT? Even if you were at the bottom of your class. Wouldn’t you still typically get a job easily with higher salary compared to a top engineering student at UMD? Also, isn’t everyone at Harvard or MIT really smart to begin with? [/quote] No, some of them are smart but not outstanding. No employer wants someone from the bottom of a class.[/quote] On the other hand, I've never had an employer ask my class rank.[/quote] +1 And if they do, and your rank isn't all that, just answer: "I, ma'am, am one of those that makes the Top 50% possible." Our oldest went with the Big Fish approach but is pursing one of those professions with a state/national exam. Pass it, and you get the title/initials to go with it. Has plenty of internship and research opportunities and loves the school. YMMV and I say [i]to each their own[/i].[/quote]
