[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top engineering firms only really actively recruit grads from the Top engineering schools.   Not that other grads won’t eventually end up somewhere.  They will just have a different path to get there.  [/quote]

This. Prestige matters for engineering at the top levels. There are about 15 ivy/privates and 5 publics that are far above the rest[/quote]

Yes  but remember there are thousands of students at each of these top schools and top companies will not hire them all, only the top students. So the average Joes there will end up in the same places as students from other colleges.[/quote]

Not true[/quote]

How is it not true? [b][b]Is every student from those top schools being scooped up by Jane St and the likes?[/b][/b] [b]At my workplace (not prestigious) I see plenty of interns/co-workers from MIT or GT[/b] but also VT or GMU.[/quote]

More as a percentage than most other schools. That's the point.

So?  Some take jobs at other places for all sorts of reasons personal to them.  This anectdote means nothing.[/quote]
