In antoher comment on this discussion : >> Most people I knew at MIT had a full time offer they were happy with from their Junior year internship by their senior year. This leads me to think that top-universities student are already "chosen/watched" by companies before the recruitment phase so both companies and student are much more confident they can work together. So basically, top companies just recruit people the best way : by looking at students while they are still student. Which is fine, except the top universities are, I guess, the most expensive ones. But if that is true too, then that's another bias : companies have rich employees, so they hire people with the same set of personal values...
