In all the conference realignment shuffle, a lot of talk has been given to how the different schools rank academically.  Inevitably, Tech has been frequently ranked toward the low end.  Thus i thought this article from the WSJ interesting.  It doesn't look at what membership Tech belong to (not AAU), not research funding, not US News and World Reports, but at how much our graduates are desired

Below are the Top 25 schools whose graduates were the top-rated by recruiters.

Under each school you'll see any individual majors where companies also ranked the school, along with other general information about the school's location, application deadlines and student body. Click on each school name to go to the university's website.

Where possible, we've pulled school-related data on number of students, tuition, application deadline, undergraduate enrollment and admissions contact information directly from each institution's website.
