>>> My alma mater UC Davis graduated ~300 students in computer science per year (big school). 85,000 new visas.
Firstly, not all 85000 visas are for computer science graduates. So the better number might be the total graduates from UC Davis, or at least the total graduates in Engineering, Management, Economics, etc, etc.
Secondly, UC Davis is not the only school in the country, however big it is. There are thousands of schools.
The total Undergraduate enrollment in the USA is ~10million per year. You can assume 1/4 of that are seniors(2.5M) and perhaps 80% graduate (2M). Obviously not all are Engineering, Management, Economics -- but my point is the "300 student vs 85,000 spots" figure is wildly wrong.
