[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not for the cognitive science echols to begin with.  The flunkies of Comp Sci who REVERTED to BA, yes.[/quote]

You mean for an Echols scholar doing CS and Cognitive Science?  That's a very small subset of kids (200 kids/yr) who sometimes decline Ivies to go to UVA.  If comparing across the entire population, the Cognitive science kids make 55K/59K (Avg/Median), 90K/87K (CS - School of Arts/sciences) and 99K/100K (School of Engineering).

Side tangential note: starting salaries don't include zip code.  You should always look at percentile (top 99%) for occupation PLUS zip code to see how well you really did.[/quote]

Wut?  The Arts CS grads got a degree in CS.  The "flunkies" are not part of that number.  How did my data "prove your point"?  :lol:

Your geography point doesn't make sense either.  We are not comparing across schools, we are comparing WITHIN the same school. Are you suggesting that somehow the CS kids graduating from Arts school have a geographic disadvantage compared to CS kids out of Engineering?!?  Bring us the data to back your case (like I did to make mine). [/quote]
