true trolls

Except that trolls are on here also disparaging houses for whatever random reason, and that's obvious.

It's easy to tell when most of the trolls post (although I suspect that it's the same person desperate to be relevant at a school they know nothing about, other than what they can creep on social media and here). You can also tell the bored high school kids who may or may not be PNMs but sure do have opinions that make no sense.

It wouldn't surprise me if the people coming on here to attack the school itself are the same frustrated people who realize that we don't care about their stupid trolling. It's also possible it's bored people from other schools, but it seems unlikely. What actual college Greek has that much time on their hands?

Right, or alums of certain sororities who come on and say this chapter “extols the ideals of its founders and nationals...” NO student or even alum living in the real world says that. The founders of every sorority would probably roll in their graves if they say sorority life at any big school these days... but especially the ones these seem to be pushing. And every time a negative word is said, TROLL comes out in caps. It’s so embarrassing honestly.

What, do you work in Admissions OP? Talk about a troll ! You’re defending a post 10 threads back — who’s got time for that other than a paid UA staffer.

reporting this nugget from the post "10 threads back" -- aka the "Grades" post:

Though very rude, the comment from "to be fair" is actually pretty accurate. Elite employers don't recruit from Bama or the SEC in general, besides Vandy, and if there are any pickings at all they are very very very slim, and many of the top employment destinations are for MBA and Law School graduates. Don't believe me? Look at the opportunities on Handshake, they're not very impressive!

For example, no VC recruits at UA, nor does JPM, CS, DB, UBS, Cravath, Bain, O'Melveny, McK, BCG, etc. - and the very few positions at good employers are typically pretty bad. Deloitte recruits UA grads, but not for their prestigious strategy practice. Tesla recruits there, but for sales & service positions not for their engineering or innovation divisions. And Goldman does selectively recruit at Alabama, yes, but not for analyst or associate-track jobs. How do I know? Because my company was recruiting a girl (a Phi Mu) last fall and she turned us down for a sales gig at GS. (Yes, I am a little bitter both as a UA grad and as a recruiter.)

The cold truth is, elite employers simply recruit at higher caliber schools than UA. Prestige companies might at best offer up a handful of junky jobs at Alabama but offer 30 executive-track positions at schools like UNC, UVA, Texas, Berkeley or Michigan (and those are just the public schools). And UA grads tend to stay in the region for the most part so that means even fewer opportunities. Sad but true. Roll Tide.
