[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The top job opportunities at UVA are not close to the top job opportunities at CMU, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Cornell, etc. To argue otherwise is idiotic. [/quote]
I don't think Cornell would be much better. [/quote]

You are incorrect: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/undergrad/cscareers/placementreport[/quote]

This is not impressive considering Cornell is an Ivy in New York. You're comparing Cornell to MIT and Stanford and it's not close to them. The avg CS grad salary at Emory is $98k vs. Cornells 105k. Emory is in the south and its program is ranked 71.

Agree that Cornell is not Stanford/MIT. But it is close and is comparable in terms of CS legacy, focus, research, size of department, quality of faculty and peer group.
Conversely, Emory is not even close to Cornell for CS - nobody would compare them. Emory does not have have a legacy of CS.

Don't understand the point of Emory being in the South - CS jobs/recruiting are mobile. Cornell is in rural NY, far away from large employment centers. NYC is 4 hours away. Yet despite its remote location, from the linked placement report, a large number go on the the west coast. Emory is in the middle of Atlanta.[/quote]
