CMU CS research is world class and touches many areas in robotics, language, AI, bioinformatics, etc.
The course rigor will be higher. There will be courses you can only find at CMU.
Some employers will only recruit from top schools.
Does it worth $50k more? Only OP can answer that. Even from a finance standpoint, if the student's aim is to get into a few selective employers that pay big $, CMU is probably the place to go.
I guess the question is, why some "employers will only recruit from top schools"? I doubt selective employers will pay hundreds of thousands more just to say they have CMU, Stanford, Harvard grads in their payroll. There's got to be reasons for this.
