That’s a good point. I go to school in the university section of Philadelphia – Penn, Drexel, USP, and a few other schools are all intermingled. I’m not basing my previous statement on any formal study, but rather, through drexel alum that I know.

This isn’t a trivial number either. Looking at facebook friends now, 39 students who I know personally that ended up working at their co-op (which is not quite the same as being an “intern,” but I’ll spare you the semantics). ALL of the drexel alum I know found jobs in their respective fields after graduation.

As to your idea about GS interns – I’m sure most of them aren’t employed by GS. But there are 3 co-ops; 2 other opportunities to find a potential employer. It’s not like other schools where you intern for a semester, but rather, three extended employments. Like I said, you should consider leaving it on your list as a safety school.

For the sake of transparency: I do not go to Drexel :p
