[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did that. Not quite Harvard, but turned down Duke, Cornell, and Dartmouth engineering to go to UMD. It was the decision between graduating debt free or $100k+ in debt. Ironically at my first job my cube mate came from Yale, so I'm not sure it made much of a difference in the end. Part of me still wonders "what if?" 20 years later, but I'm not sad with how my life turned out.[/quote] +1 There are Googlers who graduated from top tier who work along side state u grads. I worked with someone from Cornell; I graduated from no name state u.[/quote] I never understand this reasoning. Unless you can prove Google hires in the same proportion from Harvard vs a specific State U, it doesn’t verify anything. If Google hires 50 from Harvard and only 10 from UVA…well the odds are significantly better at Harvard.[/quote]
