RE:



An MIT math or engineering grad (or a Dartmouth or Williams math or engineering grad for that matter) will have access to the truly elite management consulting (Bain, McKinsey, BCG) and finance (VCs, BB Investment Banking) jobs in a way a Georgia Tech grad won’t.

I will concede that, but you gotta remember this — the companies you mentioned are mostly Northern based companies. GIT is southern based and most of their recruiters ( yes, including venture capitalists ) are Southern based. And remember this too – The South’s job growth is now exceeding the North’s ( BTW, I live in the Northwest and it isn’t a biased statement ).

Huge companies like Southern Energy, Duke, and now investment banks based in Charlotte, NC. e.g. – Brown Brothers Harriman, Raymond James, Wachovia, etc. are all actively recruiting technology, math and other graduates to man their analytics and computer sites.

The beneficiaries ? Technology Schools ( wherever you find them, and Georgia Tech is included ).
