What exactly are you signaling to employers with your Stanford admission though? It's not really clear to me. Intelligence? That's pretty easy to measure on it

What exactly are you signaling to employers with your Stanford admission though? It's not really clear to me.
Intelligence? That's pretty easy to measure on its own.
Hard work?
Hoop jumping?
I'm not really sure. And I say this as someone who hires programmers and sees a CS Degree from Stanford as a pretty strong positive.
- rayiner 11y agoI think it says something about both conscientiousness and intelligence to meet the SAT/GPA requirements for getting into Stanford. And when you look at someone's grades at a good college or graduate school, I think it says something that they managed to do well while competing with a bunch of other smart people.
