The public list is still very underwhelming, but at least they got rid of BC. I would still replace Tufts and add USC back. [/quote]
It's employer preference - you're welcome to call them up and tell them they are wrong[/quote]

Not really…the UC schools aren’t included because Forbes requires standardized test scores for this ranking and UC schools are test blind.

Even if the very same employers said they love all the UC schools they still would not be on this list.[/quote]

Yes really. It’s true that if UC schools had been options, a couple might have been included. So, you could argue UCLA, Berkeley, etc should also be on the list. That’s fair.  But it doesn’t change the fact that given all the choices but UCs, these were the ones employers chose.

Yeah to VA for getting two schools on the list. For all the griping about how hard the top college in VA are to get into, we are really lucky to have UVA &WM (both excellent, but appeal to different kids) AND VT for STEM. AND really solid options with great outcomes in GMU, JMU, VCA (arts, engineer, health science, UMW & CNU (smaller schools) for kids locked out of UVa/WM/VT STEM. Given its population, VA is punching way above its weight in terms of higher education options.

Interesting that the public side of the list of non-VA colleges are really the STEM powerhouses: UICU, Purdue, Pitt, GA Tech— even UT Austin. It’s basically a list of publics that a lot of TJ kids attend (have a TJ alum kid). [/quote]

Ok…but just pointing out that there flaws in the list.  They shouldn’t care if UC schools are test blind if employers don’t care (which they don’t).

Assuming they wanted to keep the list to some minimum number, UCLA, UCB and maybe even UCSD would have knocked others off.[/quote]
