<p>I’m not sure what the statistics are perhaps someone else may know and post or you can try to search the PSU website. </p>
<p>Oh, ok I see where your coming from. My opinion is to not even take the “prestige” into consideration. When considering grad schools I would say go for the school where you will be the most successful. Similarly to undergrad, there are specific criteria that grad schools consider when evaluating an application. If the GPA cut off is around 3.5 going to Harvard vs [No Name University] is not going to hold much significance if your GPA is a 2.8. With that being said, I would actually suggest not attending PSU or Purdue. Both universities are academically challenging and i’m not convinced that the curriculum offers anything above the rest to justify the extensive amount of effort you have to put into it to come out with adequate grades. Some schools make things far more difficult almost as if to maintain their reputation as a “tough school”. If you have a bunch of professors who don’t actually teach then its obvious that it will be much harder to learn. </p>
<p>If you think you may change your mind and enter the workforce after graduating then my advice would be the reverse. Top companies like to recruit at big name universities. Graduating from a well regarded school with a large alumni network could give you a huge advantage in the job market. </p>
<p>We usually have two career fairs a year some employers will only come to one. Some of the companies are: Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, eBay, IBM, Intel, GE, Raytheon, Qualcomm, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, HP etc.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
