Yeah, the day to day I’m hearing is not good–at least very inconsistent. Some who never got an internship, but did end up with what they said was a good job a few months after graduation. Comments like the alumni network is overrated, advisors hit or miss, class difficulty if not in honors (this concerns me a lot).
