[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would be a waste of money for vanity’s sake to choose Michigan. [/quote]

I agree, for vanity’s sake.  But for a superior engineering education, that’s another story. [/quote]

How can it be any superior if both uva and u of Michigan make roughly equal amount of salary?[/quote]

Where did you see that they make equal salaries in engineering?[/quote]

NP.  Here are links to Salary info. (2019 data) from UMich and UVA.  UM lists salary info. by specialization.  UVA is a picklist where you have to repeat the process for the specialty of your choice.

UM - http://career.engin.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2020/04/annualreport1819.pdf
UVA - https://career.virginia.edu/UniversityofVirginia-Class-2019

For the 3 areas that OP is interested in - Aerospace, Mech and CS (The CS program in the Engr. department; The LSA/A&S version has lower stats).

[b]UM (Median/Avg.)[/b]
Aerospace - $74,500/$76,348
Mechanical - $74,000/$75,720
CS - $101,000/$99,248

[b]UVA:[/b]
Aerospace - $66,893/$61,732
Mechanical - $74,500/$74,114
CS - $99,000/$92,698

While not exactly equal, UM is not substantially higher (except for Aerospace).   Assess for yourself if the salary differential with Michigan is worth it relative to the additional cost of attendance.

More.. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple and Capital One are top 10 hiring companies from UMich (for all levels - BS, MS and PhD).  Looks like they also hire a lot of interns.  UVA's page lists Capital One and Microsoft as top hiring companies.[/quote]
