Schools where tech companies recruit

College Search & Selection

<p>I found an interesting chart on Wired documenting the top 5 schools for 7 big-name companies (Microsoft, IBM, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter): <a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/05/alumni-network-2/"&gt;http://www.wired.com/2014/05/alumni-network-2/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Looking at it just in terms of numbers skews the data in favor of big schools, but it still seems pretty evident that geography is a huge factor. Top 5 for all the companies listed- disregard order because they're organized by total # of grads going into these companies (except grads don't get counted for companies where they're not one of the top 5 groups, so the data is very skewed if you try to rank it):</p>

<p>Take this list with a LOT of salt because it's only counting the top 5 sources for each company and doesn't include important factors like pay, position, and- importantly- percentages to account for the variation in university size here.</p>

<p>Anyone have better lists? Or the raw data behind this?</p>
