19/15 MIT 2005 graduates went to Google/Microsoft. What about Stanford?

<p>Yang was both an undergrad and a grad student at Stanford. </p>

<p>I agree with joemama that this is an odd way to pick a college.</p>

<p>And besides, even if we were to evaluate schools this way, shouldn’t we be talking about the PERCENTAGE of students who go to a particular employer? One school in the world might just have lots of graduates go to a particular employer just because the school produces lots and lots of graduates period. </p>

<p>Then we also have to talk about those students who got job offers from Google or Microsoft and then turned it down for something else. I know quite a few people from MIT who got offers from either company and turned it down for various reasons. Some of them decided that they’d rather work in management consulting, especially for McKinsey. Others decided that they’d rather go to an investment bank like Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley. Still others decided that they’d rather go to graduate school. I know one MIT student who got an offer from Microsoft but decided to stay at MIT to get his PhD. I’m quite sure that this happens to a lot of Stanford students too.</p>
