But how much does the school help with starting salary if you accept mostly rich people as students? Being rich with connections to other rich people can’t be overlooked. [/quote]

Great point.  Already rich people with connections skew the income data a lot. 
A lot of the so called elite schools have big portion of these rich people.

Hence I trust the data from the Department of the Education the most.
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/

The data is collected via IRS and loan servicing companies for students who had any sort of federal aid - grant, subsidized loan, etc.
So it covers most of the low to mid income real people, and eliminate much of the rich people effect.

10-year-out median earnings

Georgetown: $96,375
Northwestern: $80,033
[b]Northeastern: $79,786[/b]
UVA: $77,048
UChicago: $76,730
Emory: $72,364
UNC: $61,915
