[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that GWU is not even a top 50 school yet is number 27 on the list. [/quote]

Because many GWU grads stay in DC or go to NYC, high COL areas. This isn't hard to understand.[/quote]

This is mainly an issue of where grads tend to live, the number of high early earning majors like engineering there are, and whether earnings are delayed by graduate school.  For some schools the proportion of students coming from wealthy well-connected families also really influences the average--they are set up for success regardless of their school.

It makes no sense to generically rank on this criteria IMO--I think the info is good to have about schools but too much of it is about irrelevant factors to make the rankings make sense. I would rather compare major to major adjusted for COL, but I know that's too much to ask.[/quote]

As in the OP's post, it eliminates wealthy effect to a certain level.  
The site actually has figures by majors or  areas of study.
