<p>I used to work with a group from Austin, Texas, not sure if all of them graduated from UT of Austin but they are pretty smart. My neighbors both graduated from UT Austin and moved to the Bay Area right away after graduation. I also met countless people at work graduated from UT Austin. They all did very well. I think like most students, people underestimate their own state schools. If you go to Facebook, career section for student, UT of Austin is listed as one of the top 21 schools Facebook recruits, now that does not mean those are the only schools Facebook will recruit but the fact that Facebook lists them there means something. I can’t find similar high tech companies that I can cite easily.</p>
