<p>That’s according to one survey by the WSJ of 479 recruiters.

<p>Another survey, by the NYT of over 2500 recruiters plus ~2200 CEOs/managers for unspecified “top companies” worldwide, comes up with an entirely different list of top 10 schools. It completely contradicts the WSJ findings about preferences for state schools v. selective private schools. I don’t see Penn State anywhere in the top 150 (which includes US and foreign schools). TOSU is #120 (a little above Wisconsin, a little below Washington).

<p>Which survey should you believe? I don’t know; maybe neither. They are two different sets of opinions with little or no documentation displayed about the specific questions being asked or other aspects of the survey process.</p>
