[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAybe easier to get into than "elite" schools but much harder work once in, and then that is the payoff.

I'd hire a Purdue engineering grad over most other engineering school grads in the top ten, excepting probably MIT, Caltech, Stanford CS (but not meche or cheme) and maybe...Princeton hard core engineering. Though maybe.  [/quote]

The copium comes out.[/quote]

Not sure what you mean.  I didn't go to any of these schools, and went instead to "elite" schools.  I teach at an "elite" private school and have a startup.  I'd choose to hire from these schools over the school where I work.  How is that an emotional shortcoming?  Or what are you meaning by "copium" these days, which honestly seems poorly placed here.[/quote]

Maybe your startup isn’t going anywhere?  My kid attends an “elite” school and many professors have startups and it’s common knowledge which professors make terrible startup founders, the startup is kind of floundering and kids avoid, and which are going somewhere and literally almost every kid working at those attends the school.

You sound ridiculous, lol

Not to mention the startups founded by the current students getting VC funding.[/quote][/quote]
