[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what OP's point is. A $70k vacation at French Riviera beats $10k vacation in Ocean City. A sample size of 1 can't draw any conclusion. But top CMU CS grads are doing amazing things. Top GMU grads find a job at government contracting.

It's also a meaningless comparison. GMU students can't get into UVA or CMU. They don't have a choice of UVA or CMU experience. College experience is not about first paycheck after college. Even if that's the only measure,[b] a real analysis with sample size greater than 1 student or 1 company will show the opposite of what OP was trying to imply.[/b][/quote]
actually the research is pretty clear that for students of equal ability (e.g. students who got into Ivy and state flagship but go to state flagship) have virtually identical career outcomes. Which tells us that the school itself isn't really important- the differences we see is simply because of the delta in the students themselves at say, GMU and Harvard. Which, duh. But it's not the school.[/quote]
