For LADWP:

Correct that LADWP / LADPW recruits from CPP and CSLA.

It’s just how it is when you have good alumni relationships. I believe LADWP only recruits their civil engineering associates from top cream of the crop much like how oil companies pick their top students and pay them the high salaries to retain talent.

Don’t get me wrong, CPP nor UCR are not bad schools. They are both ABET accredited. If you want to be an engineer, go with CPP or UCR - engineering doesn’t judge your school as harshly as let’s say Goldman Sachs / BCG / etc. If you want to be management, go to a higher school and go from there.

As for MBA. Is the McKinsey graduate working in U.S.? I believe McKinsey will only allow you to be associate level in the U.S. with a MBA from an American school. You can work outside of U.S. with a B.S. or M.S. and be an associate or work.

INSEAD is a different MBA school as it has an alliance with UPenn and Kellogg. Not to mention the 1 year MBA, foreign language requirement, and three physical location campuses.

P.S. - Rheidzan, I would imagine most of LADWP and LADPW are busy studying for tomorrow and friday.
