The way I see it, this is only a problem if you must go to one of the top schools in the nation, such as MIT, because you want to be able to graduate and secure an extremely competitive job at the best companies with no questions asked.
If you aren't actively trying to achieve stardom in the professional world, there are tons of good universities that will provide a great education and will look good on your resume, you just might not be hired right out of the gate at Apple with only one or two rounds of interviews.
- kenjackson 3y agoI wonder if there's also a difference between engineering and non-engineering schools. I tend to agree that at MIT you mostly just want the very best engineers and the more objective the metric, maybe the better. But if I'm looking to educate the best politicians, judges, business people, activists -- I think that I really do care about a lot more than SATs and transcripts. It's funny because I feel like no one has this argument about Cal Tech. They might have affirmative action, but if they didn't everyone seemed to be OK with it.
