<p>Standing at the front end as a prospie and considering the back end re job placement - how strong is W in enhancing job placement on the east coast, in the mid west and out on the west coast? Is there a regional blush to school recruitment? It may - to a degree - depend on the vocational choice, but shouldn't a W education create the same opportunities across the board?</p>
<p>I’d say its pretty equal across the board, but some places are more popular than others. Many people elect to stay on the east coast (Boston, NYC, DC) and there are strong contingencies in SF and LA and Chicago as well. Beyond those major cities, I know people all over – Texas, the Carolinas, Washington state, Colorado, Wisconsin, etc etc. If you want to move home wherever that may be it is certainly possible to find a job but you’ll have to do a bit more leg work (leveraging the Wellesley network can be a big help here)</p>
<p>Keep in mind that that’s just the US. There are also lots of people across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia … And that doesn’t even include people in graduate school whom are everywhere as well</p>
<p>If job placement is a primary concern, then going to any liberal arts college is not optimal. An accounting major from a state flagship university will probably have an easier time getting a job upon graduation than, say, an art history major from Wellesley. Immediate post-graduation prospects are indeed very field-dependent, anywhere.</p>
<p>My experience as an alumna is dated, but I do think my Wellesley degree was more recognized on the East Coast than in the Midwest, where I am from. I can say, however, that it helped me with graduate school admissions and fellowships, and I got job interviews (on the East Coast) because of it.</p>
