how so? you are rewarding students for working hard to get their degree? the current process basically tells them: we don’t care you worked crazy hard, it’s back to square 1. they might just as well gone straight into an internship after high school… also: this is not just the case for scandinavian universities but also the case for universities in most of western europe especially if they are non-private.

I believe you that this is the level of talent at western European universities but what about all the other universities outside of Western Europe that aren't like this. Should companies exempt you from a grueling interview process only if you are from one of these schools?

  sure, why not? companies collect info about what school you graduated from and your grades anyway already. they can associate that data with who they fired to decide if they want to hire out of that school.

    That would be an even more fragile metric. It only takes one or two bad professors to skew the stats.

      i don’t see how that would skew the stats as it would affect only a few courses you take and you can still do decent and self study if the professor is crap.
