No. It was based on analysis of Glass Door and Lightcast by Burning Glass Institute, a nonprofit that researches employment trends. Glass Door and Lightcast have data on jobs in finance, their salary, and the person who filled the position.

Glass Door is based on surveys. I don't know about the other.

They have job listings and know the background of the person that fills the listing.

ok, but it's still a survey. So, if people from x university don't fill out the survey, then you won't see them on the list.

Yes, why just these schools?

Looking at post graduation outcomes:
- UVA Econ Class of 2022: $76,840 average salary and if bonus $9,503
- UMD Smith Class of 2022: $69,103 mean salary
- VT Pamplin Class of 2021: 60,500 median salary.
60% of UVA Econ grads land in Fin and Consulting.
Not exactly apples to apples, but UVA Econ, even without McIntire, doing pretty well out there.

I don't think these are from the same data sets.
