<p>Sparkeye, there are alums at every school that have preference to their school but it seems as if I have struck a nerve with your school and you don’t see how others view it elsewhere. Maybe you live in a part of Ohio that has it locked down with tOSU alums? </p>
<p>Anyways, I don’t put too much stock into the GPA requirements since all of the university administrators I have talked to agree that it does nothing other than lead to grad inflation in order to ensure that they keep the students in the program. Though they all admit that it looks good to parents so it is a great marketing tool.</p>
<p>I have worked with plenty Buckeyes. Yes, Ohio State produces some great graduates but you can’t tell me that the school ensures that they all are worth hiring. I don’t judge a school by the number of Rhodes Scholars or those that go on to get an MBA, I judge them by the grads ranked in the bottom of their class. For this reason, large schools don’t perform too well.</p>
<p>But yes, recruiting at the larger schools is a great option since you get to cast a wide net and hit a lot of potential hires.</p>
