I have a hard time believing Oklahoma state ever produced the same quality or reliability of students as Stanford, and I find it hard to believe Palantir still isn’t setting up a boot at the Stanford career fairs. What is the alternative for the 2 million or so(surprised it was this low) students who graduate college every year? Certainly it’s not the 22 spots at Palantir?
