Ranking from a NYC Perspective

It's 2018.
You're a 27 year old in a fast-growing, midsized NYC company. You're hiring someone fresh out of college. BA in something. Liberal Arts. A dozen or so resumes come down to you from HR. What schools impress you most and least? Let's keep it simple. You really don't need more details than this.

Rank 'em based on being an East Coaster who isn't looking for engineering, medicine. etc. This is different than US New Rankings

Midd
Vassar
Cornell
Brandeis
Colgate
Ham
Bard
NYU
Oberlin
Kenyon
Skidmore
Rochester
Bucknell
Sarah Lawrence
Delaware Honors
McCauley Honors

Thanks!

You left out one key piece of information, and that is where did you go to school?

the question is a silly question in my opinion ... some schools may be more favorable than others but that would tend to be VERY industry/function specific ... and all those messy details you left out (GPA, activities, summer jobs, reseach, etc) pretty much swamp the school (especially given that list of schools)
