whatever.

i think all that ranking **** is just that. for example, texas a&m supposedly
has a high ranking, and yet i see the largest % of unprepared newhire engineers
from that school than any other. by far.

a decent gpa from an accredited engineering school is plenty of go-by.

What's really significant, however, when you're applying for a job in
engineering, is where corporate recruiters rank the schools. Purdue
ranked
3rd according to US News.


See? Now you're making sense. You've explained one source of the rankings,
i.e.: recruiters. Of course, recruiters could simply be happier with certain
schools because they are better at communicating with the recruiters. It may
not reflect the quality of the candidates. But anyway......
