Georgia Tech, Purdue, Texas, and even Wisconsin and Florida are all stronger in engineering than the majority of Ivy schools. And given that a very high percentage of smart kids these days go into engineering, it makes sense for those schools to be listed. Which is why employers like those schools over some of the Ivy schools.That’s where the smart kids are at.

Sorry but if there were just one combined list of 10 schools these wouldn't make it.


Which one of these schools rejected your kid? Time to get over it.

These 20 schools are in addition to the Ivy and the Ivy Plus schools mentioned elsewhere in the article:

Another notable school absent among the 33: Caltech.


Caltech should be Ivy Plus. So odd to not see Cal and UCLA on this list.


I assume it's because Caltech is so small and like 40% go on to get a PhD, so the recruiters who fill out this survey encounter their grads so infrequently. The smallest school on the list is Rice at 4,800 undergrads.

Again, they don't rank any school that doesn't require SAT scores which is why there are no UC schools.

"Our New Ivies candidates were then included in a survey we sent to C-suite and hiring executives, asking them to rank graduates of individual schools, provided they had experience with them."

"Many schools are on our list for the third year in a row, including Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, which received the highest C-suite rating of any school and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, with the second highest score."
