MIT is vastly different than Yale: it is a vocational school in the best sense of the world. Possibly slightly less so now that 6.001 isn't LISP-based, but I still can't imagine a MIT CS grad not understanding bits. People coming out of a liberal arts college I tend to expect to know algorithms, state machines, possibly data structures, probably C++ and/or Python and have next-to-zero useful code-writing experience unless they got it elsewhere.
