Talk to the “career placement offices”, or whatever they are called, and ask them what companies recruit for jobs in your field at each university. Other people’s job placement rates don’t matter. What matters is that your resume gets a chance to be seen by employers you want to work for. While you can submit resumes to any company online, if a company recruits at your school, it is sending a strong message that they value your graduates. Personally rankings and prestige are less important than a quality body of work while you are a student.
