[quote=Anonymous]I think that it's hard to do these surveys in an unbiased way because (big) companies compete against each other for high-prestige grads. So of course tech companies and law firms and businesses that are participating in large scale surveys want to say "Well, we wanted to higher Big State U grads anyway!" as a way to eventually elevate their own pretige. It's all such navel gazing. Good schools produce good workers. There are more good schools than ivies. So while it's totally fair to say a kid from UT Austin or Wisconson will perform just as well as a kid from Brown or Yale, it's weird to say the kids from Brown and Yale are "bad employees."[/quote]
