Do you have any statistics to say Georgia Tech students get recruited “by far” more than JHU students at the elite Investment Banks, tech companies, and management consulting companies? I’m ex bain from JHU, and can tell you point blank all three “elite” consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) hire more than their fair share of JHU students. I’d also see what division of Goldman is hiring. Hackathon usually constitutes their IT divisions - far from elite like their IB division which hires substantially from JHU (i’m happy to name JHU alumni that are in Goldman’s IB group from recent classes).
Lastly in tech, Google and Facebook and other elite firms also hire substantially from JHU. I work for one of the former now. It’s unclear proportionally that they hire more from from Georgia Tech - I certainly don’t see it at HQ.
I’d choose JHU, bias and all. When I graduated, I had my pick of grad schools with a full ride for Ph.D programs and my choice of jobs at graduation as well. Ended up getting a Master’s for free from MIT, but had McKinsey, Bain, and Google offers at graduation as well. When I was choosing schools for undergrad, I was also offered a scholarship at Georgia Tech (Stamps) along with UMD (Banneker-Key) and UVa (Jefferson), but ended up paying a bit more at JHU and don’t regret it in the least.
