[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this WSJ ranking.  The University of Florida is ranked 15th (highest public).  But when I look at WSJ rankings from a few months ago of the top 20 public schools by graduate pay in the fields of Technology, Finance, Management Consulting, Software Development, Engineering, Law, and Data Science.  Florida is not in the top 20 among public schools for graduate pay in any of those fields.  You would think it would be if ranked top among publics.

On the flip side, UC Berkeley is in the top 20 in pay in every single one of these fields, which accounts for 53% of its graduates.  For Georgia Tech it is 51% of graduates in fields where it in top 20 for pay, UCSD and UVA 43%, UCLA 41%, Michigan 40%, Washington 34%, UNC 33%, W&M 28%, Illinois 25%.  And that is just a sampling.  And there are many more publics.

How can WSJ's data points and rankings be so utterly and completely inconsistent?[/quote]
It's not just about pay, but pay is definitely a factor.[/quote]

It’s ROI. Pay is higher from those schools—but how much higher? Does it justify the much higher cost of attendance? I’d guess not.  [/quote]
