Most MIT Mech E grads work at Boeing. Most Chem Es work at Exxon, Merck and Intel. Most Aero Astros are at Boeing. Etc. Etc. You just aren't accurate.

- laidoffamazon 2y agoI find this specious - why would they do that when this is basically the composition of the MechE, AeroE, and ChemE (except no Intel for ChemE, we send our EEs to intel) at my public school undergrad? Why would they work with people that they perceive to be beneath them and have worked far less hard than them?
- vonneumannstan 2y ago>Why would they work with people that they perceive to be beneath them and have worked far less hard than them? Because you aren't actually modeling their thinking correctly?
- laidoffamazon 2y agoPerhaps I don't. I don't know why someone would expend 100x the effort and be labeled at minimum 10x the person by MIT admissions to end up at the same place that people with 1350 SATs from Auburn or 1450's from NC State or 1420 from Binghamton would go to after graduating MechE.
- mlhpdx 2y agoSo I was accepted to MIT long, long ago and couldn’t afford to go and ended up at an (excellent) state school. If I’d gone to MIT I would be the same person right? Stereotypes don’t work, and never have — see people, not labels.
- laidoffamazon 2y agoIt's about being able to get in, not going. You're a superior human to people like me despite going to a state school.
