Not even close to true.  Should be, but is not.[/quote]

Most companies pay new hires/straight out of college hires the same thing when they start out....Facebook does not pay Harvard grads more than GMU grads for the same job, it just doesn't happen.  Now 1-2 years in, yes, there will be pay differences, and those are based on your on the job performance reviews, not where you attended college.

Please, GMU is not the same as Harvard. It's just not. It's not even in the same league as UVA in CS. GMU attracts third-rate students and third-rate faculties statistically. There will always be outliers. On average UVA CS grads will make more than GMU's.

Harvard CS actually pays the most.

What the PP wrote could be true.  Facebook may pay the same to Harvard and GMU (and other) CS grads, but a higher percentage of Harvard grads are getting the high paying positions. [/quote]

Because you cannot compare all Harvard grads to all CS majors at GMU---you have to compare those at GMU who have/had the resume to get admitted to Harvard.  And that may only be 5-10%.
