[QUOTE="IlliniWC, post: 1320271, member: 11499"] Wha? UIUC is super respected in tech worldwide, especially if you're a software engineer - it has a reputation as one of the top CS programs, as well as having famed alumni such as Marc Andreesen, arguably the most famous venture capitalist in the world. I say this as a senior software engineer at one of the most famous big tech companies while possessing a MS in math from U of I. Recruiters in the Bay Area absolutely love seeing Stanford, Harvard, MIT, CMU, or UIUC on a resume. Northwestern does not have nearly as strong of a reputation here, and I have only run into one or two NW alumni while I have run into many who have attended U of I & who have worked for Google, Apple, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and more. Alright back to lurking :o . [/QUOTE]
