<p>Of course I don't know much about Wisconsin but no matter what, it still isn't as established to the degree of SD, Bos, and SF as you may think.Wisconsin is growing but is not an equal to those areas. And for a student to pay out of state tuition to go there versus other establish areas with more oppertunities is ludacris. It would be like getting into USC Marshall School of Business which is very good and also UPenn's Wharton and turning Wharton down for USC. The main thing you fail to recognize is that the audience here is an undergraduate crowd. And if they want a career in biotech then the school they go to doesn't actually matter. As for getting jobs, its still based on experience not where you went to school. Cutting edge is research is nice but start ups often have a limited staff who are often paid lower wages and work longer hours. They often don't have many entry level positions due to the lack of resources to train new workers. They typically hire experience professionals with a least 3-5 years of experience. Most entry level positions are within larger companies and only require basic skills and don't care where you went to school. Experience with certain skills and techniques are the most important things and then after that its about how well you interview. No one gives you a job based on where you went to school or if you have research experience unless the skills you gained are relevant yo the specific position.</p>
