[QUOTE="Andy Nguyen, post: 14388, member: 1"] Being extra critical, I would say the internship was before the subprime mess and UCB can't afford to have anything less than 100% on both internship and job placement. With all due respect to their great, great program, I'm not impressed that they have been able to do that. Just look at their selection of students. They pick those with great academic record and many years of relevant work experience. In short, those admitted are more market-ready. In this sense, they don't have to work extra hard to put these high caliber profiles to work. A student profile at UCB may read like this It would be a shock if they have any problem placing students like this. Heck, even Hickvill State College can place a student with this profile as well. I'm more impressed with some public college who may take in someone like me whose profile may read It obviously has to work much, much harder to make me more job-ready. So in this context, it's more impressive for a program like Baruch to be able to place its graduates year in, year out. All standard disclaimers applied here. A high profile program like UCB, NYU, Columbia would naturally attract high quality applicants. The rest of the programs (Hickville included) would have to fight hard to retain top students. [/QUOTE]
