Public vs. Private

I was one of several USC students to be shocked and horrified at an article published in the Wall Street Journal today regarding corporate recruiting on college campuses. According to the article, recruiters from top-rated firms favor public school students over private school attendees because they “get more bang for their buck”. Moreover, the recruiters ranked their top 25 picks and I was GROSSLY offended to see that USC was ranked below Arizona State University. While I will admit to being an education snob, I can’t fathom that a recruiter from a top-rated company would give a job to an ASU grad over a USC alumnus. This ranking has seriously made me question my relationship with The Wall Street Journal.
