[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if a school has large numbers of students who go on to work in education, social work, publishing/journalism, or the arts, their ranking will suffer because of the importance of salary.

If you graduate a lot of ibankers, engineers, and tech bros, you do better.[/quote]

Well, not quite, because number 10-ranked Northwestern has a relatively huge proportion of grads who go into journalism, the arts, and music, but is still highly ranked. I can't tell you why that is, however.[/quote]

Schools near big cities will have higher earning alumni.  [/quote]

The formula is basically--be a school that offers excellent non-loan financial aid, located in a high cost of living area where incomes are high and where students will want to stick around to earn those high incomes.  And if you are public, be in a state that provides good support to higher education.  But that said, some schools with those characteristics do better than others.  [/quote]
