<p>It's 2018.
You're a 27 year old in a fast-growing, midsized NYC company. You're hiring someone fresh out of college. BA in something. Liberal Arts. A dozen or so resumes come down to you from HR. What schools impress you most and least? Let's keep it simple. You really don't need more details than this.</p>
<p>Rank 'em based on being an East Coaster who isn't looking for engineering, medicine. etc. This is different than US New Rankings</p>
<p>Midd
Vassar
Cornell
Brandeis
Colgate
Ham
Bard
NYU
Oberlin
Kenyon
Skidmore
Rochester
Bucknell
Sarah Lawrence
Delaware Honors
McCauley Honors</p>
<p>OK, well, as abstract as this is, based purely on opinion (with FINE degrees separating the schools) I would put them in the following order.</p>
<p>Midd
Oberlin
Cornell
Vassar
Hamilton
Colgate
Bard
Rochester
NYU
Skidmore
Sarah Lawrence
Kenyon
Bucknell
Brandeis</p>
<p>The last two (Delaware and McCauley) I simply do not know enough about to “rank” amongst the others, but I suspect that my lack of knowledge is some indication that I would likely rank them as the last two.</p>
<p>OK, I realize this is largely subjective, and that there’s a lot of room for disagreement, but seriously teamfrangela? There were some HUGE discrepancies between our lists. I think they’re all fine schools, but I’d be hard pressed to list Brandeis and NYU ahead of Oberlin, Hamilton, and Vassar</p>
<p>Modadunn, you’re right. This is definitely arbitrary, but he did ask us to list those schools that would impress us the most and the least. Entirely arbitrary, but we’re just giving our opinion of what is impressive . . . and of course, I fell into the trap of disagreeing with teamfrangela’s opinion, haha.</p>
