@firmament2x : Your comment re: Jade is based on perception, which is not proven true.

“I don’t doubt that USC has some incredibly competitive students – it does, but it also has a lot of Olivia Jade types. That’s what my point was.”

I agree that there are Jade type at USC, but only a small number and NOT a lot. I am sure there are those types at UCLA too. At UCB, there were some, but few, dumb ones, and not super wealthy. These dumb ones could not do simple math (a little exaggerated) and would make your eyes row.

Below is a list ranking the most college alums working in Silicon Valley. USC is in the top 5, UCLA in the 2nd 10.
