[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Cappex a valid source of data?

It reports that only 41% of Emory grads are employed 6 months after graduation and with an $84,400 average salary 6 years after graduation. https://www.cappex.com/colleges/emory-university/after-graduation

For what it’s worth it says 98% of Tufts grads are employed after 6 months and earn $103,330 on average 6 years out. https://www.cappex.com/colleges/tufts-university/after-graduation

Generally speaking, Boston s a higher cost of living/higher salary area than Georgia.[/quote]

Interesting. Sounds like you are implying many Emory grads stay in Georgia six years after graduation or the COL there wouldn't matter. Emory grads seem to be everywhere, but perhaps a lot actually stay in state. Atlanta isn’t a bad place to settle down.[/quote]
Why use cappex as a source when you could use the more trusted payscale

https://www.payscale.com/research/US/School=Emory_University/Salary
Emory- 66k early 127k mid career salary

Tufts- 68k early 138k mid career salary
https://www.payscale.com/research/US/School=Tufts_University/Salary

Payscale says Tufts is still higher but not by much and when you factor in cost of living then Emory grads do better.

Good find! Did you mention the low cost of living because Emory grads tend to settle long term in Georgia or another southern state? New England cost of living is very high, but I wonder if the type of person drawn to Tufts would settle down there after graduation. It could be a factor to consider if Emory alum network is strongest there. That doesn’t seem right but…[/quote]

My DH went to Tufts and he (and none of his friends) stayed in the Boston area. [/quote]
