[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like CEW has been iterating to address some of the criticisms noted by previous posters. They now have 3 rankings: 1) purely earnings; 2) earnings adjusted for choice of major; 3) earnings adjusted for major and students' academic preparation and likelihood of graduate degree attainment.

The result? Georgetown is number 1. But, Georgetown graduates disproportionately stay in Washington, DC, and the CEW website shows that DC averages the highest salary of any "state." So, CEW needs to take one more step - adjust for differences in cost of living.

That would be interesting to see, but probably difficult to calculate.  The other thing to consider is gender ratio.  Males earn significantly more on average. When I first looked at their data for Virginia, I noticed VMI and VT were top public's and they are the only two male majority schools, I believe.  W&L was the top overall and the were historically all male and maintained 2/3rds male for a while when they went coed.  [/quote]
