What matters more in finding a job or getting a higher salary GPA or rank and reputation of school?

@GMTplus7 is right- that’s what I was getting at with the exceptions. For example, NYU Stern is known for business and CMU for compsci in a way that attracts recruiters. How you find out about what schools are known for your subject is research :slight_smile:

But- going to a school that is heavily recruited in your field doesn’t mean that you will be, and going to a college that is similarly ranked overall, but not as heavily recruited in your field, doesn’t mean that you won’t be. In both cases, what you do with your college experience (summers included) will be critical.
