[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the branding power of Harvard or MIT? Even if you were at the bottom of your class. Wouldn’t you still typically get a job easily with higher salary compared to a top engineering student at UMD? Also, isn’t everyone at Harvard or MIT really smart to begin with? [/quote] No, it's not true. Yes, the top students at MIT/Harvard have an easier time getting jobs. But the lower 25% do not. That's the point. Go where you can excel and you will do just as well, if not better than many at the top schools. It's about your opportunities and what you do with them that matters. [/quote] The top 5-10% at VT probably has the same job opportunities as the average student at MIT.[/quote]
