[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Anyone in HR with brains knows that there are a lot of factors that go into what school someone chooses. A majority of my dd's friends have GPAs over 4.0, full IB diplomas, and top SAT scores, and they're only looking at in-state schools because that's all their parents are willing to pay for. The top student that chooses to go over $200k in debt for undergrad is not necessarily someone I would view as "smart."[/quote] You don't understand how HR works. For premier gigs, software screens you [out] before human eyes even read your resume (or linkedin). Top firms want aggressive competitive ambitious people. Going to podunk college because it saved some cash teases out you may be smart, but most likely a provincial sheltered bumpkin fearful of top competition, who will likely crumble around assertive super sharp peers.[/quote]
