It's going to be very hard to convince me that Google puts the same amount of recruiting resources into Iowa State or similar as it does Harvard, MIT, Michigan, etc. It's not a matter of "they went to campus at least once, therefore it's the same thing" which is what you're implying here.
> And when did you attend college?
I went to Ohio University (close to the same enrollment numbers as Iowa State actually) 2012-2015, and then went to Ohio State 2018-2020. I did a fair amount of campus recruiting on behalf of my employer, helped Ohio University some with getting companies on campus, and created a hackathon with a career fair element to it as well.

Yes... which further strengthens my original point.
Google won’t pick them up, but the public sector and adjacent industries will, provided a passable background.
Depending where those people land, they may end up somewhere that’s on par with if not better than Google.
That aside, I’d like to know what purpose Indiana Tech and Wright State (and their equivalents) fill according to you wrt careers.
Iowa State has a strong STEM program because of Ames National Lab.
They also have on campus recruiting at UTD, UMinn, Purdue, BYU, ASU, and Stony Brook.
And when did you attend college?
And, to be fair, if it wasn't Ohio State I doubt they would have been there.
> (just to be clear, I'm not picking on Google specifically and these comments can be applied generally to all the top hedge funds, tech companies, non-profits, etc.)
What school you go to does matter, but it's doable for most students to attend a semi-selective program and still have plenty of doors open. Indiana Tech or Wright State aren't one of those and probably won't be.
