[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCSC is not a good UC school. Cal and UCLA are. Davis and Irvine are ok, too.[/quote]

My understanding was that Silicon Valley recruited pretty heavily from UC Santa Cruz unless that's changed recently[/quote]

I'm not sure why SV would recruit heavily from UCSC when they have Stanford and Cal right there, and they could have just about anyone from a top school. But think UCSC has a guaranteed transfer program with the other UC schools if you can't get into those other schools. Are you perhaps thinking of Santa Clara University? [/quote]

Maybe it's because there are top notch students at other schools, too?  Perish the thought.[/quote]

+1  Companies in SV also hire from local CSU state univ, like SLO, San Jose, Pomona.. It may not be the Googles of SV, but there are lots of other high tech companies there that hire people from the lesser known brand name schools.  [/quote]

Even at googles, apples and other massive companies they will cast their net wider than ever due to sheer size.

It isn't like a law firm or consulting firm where everyone comes from the same 10-15 schools.

Now, on a team by team basis there definitely are differences (when looking at f500 recruiting). Certain teams definitely skew towards having people with similar backgrounds/certain schools. [/quote]
