[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This argument is so stupid. Everyone in the engineering side of the computer biz knows the average CMU CS grad is heads and shoulders above the average state flagship grad, with perhaps exception of Berkeley grads.[/quote]

That is correct but that does not mean it translates into CMU grad makes more money than GMU grad.  The average CMU grad makes the same salary as GMU grad.  My oldest graduated from CMU with 3.7GPA in CS and he works for Amazon for 120k starting salary.  His younger brother graduated from JMU with 3.6 GPA in CS because he wanted to play sport there as a recruited athlete, also works for Amazon in sale for 120K starting salary.  That was two years ago.  The younger one just got promoted last year and he is making 145k.  His older brother is still making 120k.[/quote]

Again, we can only compare averages. The brothers probably have similar IQs which may be par for CMU and above for GMU.[/quote]

Someone have to graduate at the bottom half at CMU, right? Is it worth the money to attend CMU if you graduate in the bottom half at CMU?  [/quote]

You need to compare bottom half 50% CMU with bottoms 50% GMU. The median CMU CS salary is $115,000. The median GMU CS salary is $59,000. Start from there.

Connecting to another thread, in the Forbes ranking--which looks at ROI compared to affordability (using salaries at 6 years and 10 years) BOTH CMU and GMU fare well across their majors--CMU is ranked 49 and GMU 91. https://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/[/quote]
