> I’ve never once had a bad interview or work experience with a U of Waterloo graduate Well, one of the things they are doing is requiring a 95%+ average from HS graduates (we don't generally do SATs up here), along with scores in competitions like Descartes (for math) that UW runs for HS students. They can take the cream of the cream of the crop. Also a seasoned and fantastically well-regarded co-op program for most disciplines (all engineering programs are co-op). There is a lot more (and probably much that has changed since I graduated 35 years ago), but there must be a reason that Microsoft hires -- or did hire -- more grads from UW than from any other university.
