[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Top 4 or 5 Engineering Schools overall - MIT, Stanford, UC Berkely, Georgia Tech and Cal Tech have no trouble having their grads recruited for top engineering jobs and it does make a difference.[/quote]Nobody is disputing that attending a top 5 engineering school confers certain advantages in recruitment. However, I think the key distinction is that unlike fields such as law or investment banking, where it's nearly impossible to obtain certain prestigious positions without attending a top-tier or feeder school, engineering appears more open to merit based advancement. The field seems to allow people to prove their skills and work their way up to top-tier positions, even if their degree comes from a less prestigious college. The better schools are going to help get better internships, which is going to help getting the more sough after first jobs. [/quote]
