<p>@Pizzagirl True, but undergrad doesn’t matter as much for engineering as it does for stuff like IBanking where top companies don’t even recruit at some schools. To be fair, engineering schools do have pipelines (like UDub’s with Microsoft and Stanford/Berkeley’s with Google) but it doesn’t seem to be as tough to get into the top company in your field from a mediocre school if you did engineering as it would be if you did business. I don’t know about the arts; maybe it’s the case that there’s a huge gap between RISD and Juilliard and majoring in Art or Music at some non-flagship state school that’s not a big name, but CC doesn’t seem to be aware of that. So CC mostly looks at business and fields where getting into the top 30 schools make a tremendous difference when making overall rankings. That said, yeah I do get the vibe sometimes that CC posters consider liberal arts and fine arts to be somehow less legitimate fields than engineering, business, physics, etc.; it seems to be a common attitude outside CC as well, unfortunately, but it’s not the main justification for how some CC users look at rankings in terms of MBB recruitment.</p>
