<p>Seriously, just look at this list. And if you wish, contrast this to Chicago’s. It’s ridiculous. </p>

<p>Stanford has connections to co-founders or top people at Yahoo, Microsoft, Cisco, Time Warner, Google, HP, Netflix, LinkedIn, Sun Microsystems, YouTube, Mozilla, and Instagram, just to name a FEW. And these are just the major ones in tech. </p>
<p>Chicago has a HANDFUL of top people in government posts, and most of its most famous revenue-producing alumni are from Booth, not the college. There really is no comparison. Plus, the college’s career services are still severely lacking…</p>
<p>Stanford is the epitome of a 21st century college. Great weather, great location for jobs, great all-around academics (not like Chicago where the main focus is humanities), great sports…you name it. Let’s face the truth. Chicago is great in a few select fields but Stanford matches Chicago in those fields AND more. </p>
<p>What I said is not a hyperbole, even though personally I think tech (esp. mobile apps) is in a bubble. It’s all about momentum…there’s a snowball effect and right now other schools are just entering engineering/tech when Stanford has essentially monopolized the tech industry. So it is too late and Chicago knows it, so the administration is doing what it can to make sure it’s not left out. Molecular engineering is a fine choice.</p>
