Recruiters Like Cornellians
Cornell was the only Ivy League school in the top 25 ranking of schools that produced graduates “best prepared and most able to succeed”:
The research highlighted a split in perception about state and private schools. Recruiters who named an Ivy League or elite liberal-arts school as a top pick say they prize their graduates’ intellect and cachet among clients, as well as “soft skills” like critical thinking and communication. But many companies said they need people with practical skills to serve as operations managers, product developers, business analysts and engineers. For those employees—the bulk of their work force—they turn to state institutions or other private schools offering that.
It’s still not clear to me why HYP didn’t make the list, and whether this ranking is even a good indicator for Cornell.
