From the study that they linked (https://hiringsolved.com/blog/hiringsolved-identifies-top-sk...):

> HiringSolved also compiled the leading alma maters based on volume (of all levels of hires) made by the top 25 Silicon Valley companies in the past year.

Most of the schools listed are big public schools, so it makes sense that more students from those schools are hired than students from Ivy League schools. Harvard has 22k students- for reference, UT Austin has 50k, more than twice that.

Stanford and CMU are no surprise- they're CS powerhouses. The one that takes me by most surprise is USC, a school I commonly associated with the entertainment business rather than tech.

USC has several well regarded engineering schools, actually.

And I don't doubt you; I'm not trying to discredit USC at all. I'm just saying that before reading this article, I wouldn't have guessed that USC would go on the list.
