Once more, people love to believe that employers don't like Ivy+ grads (Ivy schools plus Duke, JHU, Stanford, MIT, CalTech, Chicago), yet 7 of the top 10 and 14 of the top 20 are Ivy+. In other words, all Ivy+ schools are in the top 20.



yeah they absolutely are and that's what everyone would expect with historical brand name. but several so-called "new ivies" keep doing well on these employability surveys too (Northwestern, Rice, Tufts, Michigan, GA Tech, Carnegie Mellon) too.

Agree. And toward graduate programs. I notice UCSF, which has no undergrad is on there.

(And yes, my school is one of the top ones)

These are all terrific schools, so this isn't terribly surprising they'd be the top 30 most employable in the US.

If only people would make this same comment when strong students mention applying to ASU as an early rolling safety.
