> won't hire anyone from regular local universities... get all their people from CMU... If you went to a place like Ohio State

If Ohio State is Midwest then so is CMU... And surely those places hire like gangbusters out of UIUC, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Technically Pennsylvannia isn’t the Midwest but I don’t think you need CMU to prove your point - you can just list all sorts of other notable powerhouse Midwest schools.

They do but it’s all the same stuff at the undergrad level. I don’t even think Ivy League schools matter much either it’s all about the individual.

But I appreciate the dig xD

The Midwest doesn’t neatly divide according to state lines. Cities like Pittsburg and Buffalo are pretty solidly Midwestern, despite the fact that the eastern parts of their states are definitely not.

Yes, CMU is in the Midwest. Pittsburgh is in the Midwest.
