Of all these I think homework or portfolio is the most reasonable. I've almost never used leetcode style coding in my actual job, pedigree isn't indicative of much in my experience (all the best hackers I've known in 10 years and two continents are from eastern European state universities), and gut feeling is a coinflip.

Unless you also know a bunch of bad hackers from Eastern European state universities, it sounds like you're saying that pedigree is actually a great measure.

You're right! I meant the typically preferred pedigree of top tier American schools
