I seriously hope he went to CMU. At Stanford, you are competing for jobs against Stanford's own undergrads and PhDs. Also, Stanford's own undergrads get career assistance from undergrad career placement office while Stanford's own PhDs get career assistance from PhD academic/career placement office. There is no dedicated placement officer for masters only students (except for MBAs) and companies have stopped flying students to New York for interviews. Despite all the negative factors, getting into Stanford is an achievement of lifetime. Congratz!
