[quote=Anonymous]My DS recently graduated along with four of his cousins, and here are the stats:

- DS:  Computer Engineering degree from UVA; 3.8 GPA; two internships in sophomore and junior;  is currently jobless and looking,

- Cousin #1:  CS degree from Cornell; 3.5 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking,

- Cousin #2:  CS degree from Virginia Tech; 3.7 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking,

- Cousin #3:  CS degree from Northwestern; 3.3 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking; (OOS tuition)

- Cousin #4:  CS degree from University of Michigan; 3.5 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking; (OOS tuition),

- Cousin #5:  CS degree from George Mason; 3.9 GPA; one internship in sophomore year;  is currently working for a healthcare provider that pays him 125k/year,

Based on the small sample size above, it really does not matter where you go to school for Engineering or CS.  [/quote]
