How helpful is the UVA network. We have a “Third Year” there. We hope the alumni network is helpful in her future job search.

I thought you might see the Citadel or VMI on the list---small but a very tight night network.

Then why does my BIL who went to Colgate where he was an athlete and in a frat have one low-paying crap job after another?

Hello, Notre Dame has to be up there… They’re fanatical plus all the subway alumni who live vicariously.

Are the military academies automatically excluded from the list?
I was just coming to say that. Pretty common knowledge that the ringknockers have the tightest alumni network--never seen anything like it until I married a USNA grad. The way they hire each other is insane.

Ok, but seriously, how are HYP not on this list at least?! You constantly hear about their alum networks. I mean that’s the whole point of going to those schools.

It is well known that in the Ivies, Cornell has by far the best alumni network.

Apparently. That and the Catholic schools.

+100. Nothing wrong with a college having happy alumni who want to help fellow grads. I graduated from one of the colleges listed as having “insufferable” alumni, had a great experience there and am happy to give back. The “insufferable” ones are the ones who think the worlds begins and and ends with their alma mater and bash other people’s schools.

You probabilistically shouldn’t. Many are small liberal arts colleges- so unless you’re hiring in consulting, I wouldn’t expect you to come across many.

Yeah, those no-name schools like Dartmouth, right?
Also, the fact that you haven’t hired anyone from those schools doesn’t mean they don’t have strong alumni networks. It might actually be indicative of strong alumni networks - they aren’t applying to your company because they are already being hired by alumni elsewhere.
