“Ask your target schools to send you a list of companies that come year over year to recruit… that says a lot about the quality of students there. If they’re getting well-recognized firms that come to campus to recruit, that means that those firms are very happy with the talent they are recruiting. We spend a lot of time surveying our recruiters because it’s very important that we’re meeting their talent needs. And that loops right into our admissions process.”
