<p>Purpletitan,</p>
<p>You’ve made this claim:</p>
<p>“WashU is known to game for rankings purposes. It’s a fine university, but when you look at the few lognormal professions where brand matters (MC, high finance, and maybe trying to launch a tech startup), it just doesn’t do that well compared to the Ivies or most of the other Ivy-equivalents or even the top state schools like Cal/UMich/UVa/UT-Austin/UCLA or certain programs at other publics (worse than Kelley-IU at placing in to an IB and worse pipeline in to the Silicon Valley startup world than CS@Illinois).”</p>
<p>Do you have ANY data to support your dubious claims?</p>
<p>Bain, BCG, and McKinsey (where I am an engagement manager) all recruit at WUSTL. The same cannot be said for several schools you’ve listed.</p>
