But. Wyoming to Wisconsin. …ehhhhh. Yea it’s a good school but most companies don’t note your school. Y an ASU Cleans up in tech or SJSU. Or my son at Bama world side by side with Ga Texh.
The discussion is about OP and 3 schools and I’m simply noting that he dismisses the one he likes based on name recognition and I’m noting that Wisconsin isn’t Harvard. Or to your analogy Michigan.
Most companies recruit locally. Or to an execs preference. The big ones hace target but get their postings out to most.
And today, more than ever, they are even having most apply on line. And even the kid at Alabama (my son) gets lots of calls.
