[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My employee w an undergrad from UMich is so much better than the ex-employee w a grad degree from Columbia. Much better critical thinking skills.[/quote]

Great story.[/quote]

Maybe they could use their critical thinking skills to explain to you why anecdotes aren’t data.[/quote]
NP. Meh. Anecdotes are pretty common when making hiring decisions.[/quote]
The people who would take the word of an anonymous poster on the Internet aren’t the employers people want.[/quote]
I don't think anyone is going to make their college decision solely off an anonymous post on a parenting message board. It is still good information, though, and it's important to realize that OMG IVY LEAGUE!!!! YOU'RE HIRED!!!! thing just isn't how it works in the real world. [/quote]

Ha ha! I am the poster about the employee and it is true. Wish it wasn’t true but the UMich employee did run circles around the Columbia grad and even corrected Columbia MBA grad’s work.

For OP, it is the IVY name that is making it difficult to make the decision. Ask yourself why. Is it bragging rights?
For OP’s DC - if you truly can’t decide, what do you feel about transferring?[/quote]

Why do you wish it wasn’t true?[/quote]

Because I had high expectations for the Col7mbia grad and the position was to help move the department’s projects forward. After letting grad go, I restructured department and promoted UMich employee. Just means our department’s projects and what we need to do is behind schedule.[/quote]

Where did the Columbia MBA go for undergrad? Ivy?
