I like to think that most people actually look at a lot more than percentages (and rankings) when applying.

My son’s department, architectural engineering, is considered one of the top two (with UTA) in the country. Their career fair typically draws more companies than the number of students graduating each year, with job placement at or near 100%. Often students have multiple offers.

One rule of thumb when considering taking on college debt is not take more in total than what you might reasonably expect your first year’s salary to be. For grads of PSU’s CoE I would guess that would allow borrowing something between $15K and $20 per year, depending on department, internships, etc.
