<p>@jonahtang Unless your going to one of the Ivy’s or well known Engineering Schools, most if not all companies would care less about the US News rankings and I’m sure the Hiring Manager isn’t there with the latest copy of school rankings filtering you from someone else. To tell you the truth some might overlook you thinking you want a higher salary, don’t forget the business world does not care about your Alma Mater at the end of the day, bragging rights maybe but profits, market share and shareholder confidence is by far more important and what school you went to is a moot point. Also your school won’t save you from restructuring and budget cuts. We cut MIT and Stanford grads like nobody’s business.</p>
<p>Just remember the saying, and I heard it when I graduated and it made my jaw drop. “Despite your newly obtained degree, you don’t know anything.”</p>
