Not in any higher demand than any other schools with CS degrees. As someone who is currently doing and has done a lot of hiring for NYC tech companies I can tell you a Courant degree is not a significant plus on a resume, in the way a Stanford or CMU degree is.

Nice to see that Stanford and CMU CS grads are as overrated as ever.

Please keep that attitude. Those of us who recruit from other schools thank you.

We recruit from any school. But I know there are some programs that are better than others. All you can do is use that as a positive signal, not a rule. A degree from a less prestigious program doesn't mean we wont look at you. I don't even have a degree.

Curious what other schools you are using as examples of positive signals in the recruiting process. Waterloo? MIT? A few others come to mind, but not many...
