Episode Details

Pittsburgh’s rise and fall on Forbes’ “New Ivies” list reveals how fiercely competitive college rankings are—and how AI is reshaping hiring. After making the cut last year, Pitt missed this year’s list despite strong metrics: a 58% acceptance rate and solid SAT/ACT scores. The list, which excludes traditional Ivies and filters by enrollment and test participation, surveys top execs on graduate quality—and now also asks how AI is altering workforce needs. Schools like Illinois and Florida cycle in and out, while most stress education over rankings. This year’s survey hints at a future where AI may reduce demand for entry-level grads—and universities must adapt fast.
