[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironically USNews says Emory grads make more. The PP might have been using old data.

No, the College Scorecard data and US News are just looking at different things. The Dept of Ed is looking at [i]median[/i] earnings ten years post-graduation [i]for students who received federal financial aid[/i]. (In other words: that would exclude kids form super-rich families, so the difference can't be accounted fo by a higher percentage of super rich kids). US News is looking at [i]average [/i]starting salary for graduates.

Georgetown grads who received federal aid as students make a median amount of $24k more than Emory grads ten years out. Emory grads make, [i]on average[/i], a little bit more immediately upon graduating. (The difference is pretty minuscule, too: US News says average starting salary for Emory grads is $60,200, compared to $59,500 for Georgetown. Difference in starting salaries is just over 1%. I wouldn't advise my kid to choose a school based on a 1% difference in starting salary)[/quote]

I am always skeptical of this data if no adjustments are made for cost of living.[/quote]
