LOL. No I would disagree about state U being preferable for recruiting over MIT and Stanford. But it might be harder for some companies to snag students from MIT and Stanford. For most students, getting in is the key. They are need blind and they meet need. The tuition is often lower than it would be at State U. That was certainly true of us. It isn’t about “winning” a scholarship. Once you are are admitted, they review your financial status and determine the amount of financial aid you will receive. There is no merit aid. But students can do well coming from State U too.
