Source?

Anyway, PP was talking about the number of offers, not the salaries offered, which nobody would expect to be very different.

Tech firms want kids who work hard, not pampered kids who took a lot of courses pass/fail. “Vibe” is secondary by a long shot. Please.

"Tech seems unrealistic unless you’re hired for the lobbying shop or something similar."

Flat out wrong, caught talking about an Ivy when you don't have the first clue.

16% of Brown grads enter tech. Engineer/computer science is one of the most popular concentrations.

Cornell is stronger in STEM than most other Ivy’s.

Who are you, and why are you posting this bilge?

This is a really accurate list for UNDERGRAD cs.

#1 MIT
#2 Stanford
#3 CMU

#12 Brown
#14 Berkeley

So you agree Brown isn’t a top 10 CS school?

Btw, the idea that Berkeley, with all its Silicon Valley connections, is #14 is whacked. Sure, Berkeley isn’t Stamdford, but it’s still tightly tied to Silicon Valley. You don’t seem to understand much about CS undergraduate, nor does your favorite ranking system.

Pp here. Stanford not Stamford, obviously.

I’ll see you niche.com and raise you collegechoice.com.

This one puts Berkeley at #1 and Brown at #30.

These places recruit heavily at all the ivies, they are not obsessed with Brown. In fact Brown is not as huge of a target for elite business as hype, Penn, Columbia and Dartmouth. Same goes for tech: Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Penn and Cornell are bigger targets than Brown.

Or if you prefer, top 10 undergraduate CS programs: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-computer .

The usual suspects, plus Michigan, Texas at Austin, Purdue... but Brown is nowhere in sight,

Investment banking might be realistic if you can demonstrate you’re “hungry” and aggressive, which may not Ben all Brown students. Tech seems unrealistic unless you’re hired for the lobbying shop or something similar.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Hint: Brown's CS dept is one of the top in the country.

Hahaha. https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/computer-science-rankings. Below Georgia, UMD, Michigan, several UCs, and so many others.

Does anybody else think there’s a paid Brown booster here? Some of the other boosters (I’m looking at you, CalTech, Penn and Columbia boosters) don’t seem very sophisticated. But the steady drumbeat of “Brown is just so hot!” posts are of a different nature entirely.
