Does it matter where you go to college?

@privatebanker I think what you posted is a reasonable way to map options.

@data10 Not sure about your MIT - GT comparison, but it may be a jump-ball following the @privatebanker hierarchy. Regards Stanford, not sure when you were there of exact major, but the there seems to a considerable demand from many sectors especially for CS (and even more for some specialized CS areas) . I know several students there and as far as internships go the options are many. For instance, one student I know had 7 offers in-hand for this summer. All the positions where tightly aligned with the students interests, they were geographically disperse (Boston, Dallas, Seattle, NYC, and several in SV), and they came from several business sectors (finance, robotics, business analytics, etc). That example is not uncommon, at lest with the students I know.
