@beadymom >>> @gator88ne - next time the discussion turns to how UA students find their internships, be sure to repost that statistic of only 19% of MIT students get theirs through job fairs.<<<

That is sooooo true.

I’m tired of people assuming that the so-called best univs “place” their grads into fab jobs.

Our friends’ Columbia Engineering son was unemployed for over 2 years post graduation. They had assumed that sending him there, rather than UCLA or some NMF school, was a guarantee to a waltz into a top job.
