[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some options where the salary differentials may make the OOS or private option the better choice.  Carnegie Mellon for CS over anything in state in Virginia might be an example.  You can probably find some information about Michigan and UVA engineering outcomes online.  Michigan is more highly regarded, as you note, but actual outcomes may not be that different.  [/quote]

OP.  Salary information is available on the college websites. If you don't have this info. Avg salary for 2019 CS grads - $99,248 and $92,698 for UMich and UVA.  The Median salary is only $2K apart ($101K and $99K).  You may want to look into where most of the kids end up for work.. DC area vs. other areas you want to target such as SV or Seattle (Michigan is likely a better bet).

The good thing at both these schools is that you can do CS from either the Engineering or the Arts & Science schools should DC lose interest in Engineering but want to stay with CS and both are all-around great schools with multiple strong departments vs some schools with highly ranked CS programs that are not that strong outside of CS/Engineering (e.g. UIUC, U Washington). However, starting salaries are a bit lower for Arts/Sciences CS kids.

Also consider the weather and driving distance.

FYI.. We are in the same boat and trying to figure this out as well.  Just sharing our thought process.  Good Luck![/quote]
