Comparable data doesn’t exist because there’s no undergrad business school at UChicago.

And the post I’ve quoted arguably misrepresents the McIntire data — only 63% reported a signing bonus and only 43% reported an annual bonus.

Why does someone keep posting uva undergrad business school data? So weird.

$87,000-103,000 or whatever it is inbetween is very strong. Please show us anything from UChicago with similar. Oh that's right, Chicago is sneaky and cryptic, we'll just have to trust you all.

I don't think anyone would debate Chicago is the better place for a future Phd. But everyone else, I struggle to see the justification.

The Chicago wonks pick apart clean UVA data, but can't produce anything from Hyde Park. So weird.

I can cite clean career destination data, why can't you Chicago boosters cite anything?

The average annual base salary for the undergraduate Class of 2017 is $72,297.

Signing Bonus...
The average signing bonus for the undergraduate Class of 2017 is $9,261.

Annual Bonus...
The average estimated annual bonus is $22,271.

did you miss this info: "And the post I’ve quoted arguably misrepresents the McIntire data — only 63% reported a signing bonus and only 43% reported an annual bonus."

adjusting by averages (not really meaningful but perhaps slightly indicative) $72,297 + .63 * $9,261 + .43 * $22,271 = $87,708

Accenture, Google, Charles River Associates, Amazon, Epic, L.E.K., Morningstar, and Cook County government round out the list.

Any state school generally can cite those. Even UMBC can produce a Rhodes scholar...

The only actual tax-data based information is at the department of education's college score card, which cannot report by major by law.

I didn't know that. It would be 100x more helpful if it at least broke down by individual colleges within the University. Penn, for example, has Huntsman, Wharton, nursing, engineering, arts and sciences.

And, again, the scorecard data is only for recipients of federal financial aid. Not a representative sample (and not necessarily comparable from school to school (because of other sources of FA)).

hahahah at Chicago crazies citing anecdotal crap. I thought Chicago was full of "thinkers" and "academics"...where's the beef? here's an easy one, how many c/o 2016 or 2017 from The College are investment banking analysts at bulge bracket banks (the most sought after position)? or even narrower, how many are IB analysts at GS, JPM, and MS?

Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML)
Barclays Capital (BarCap)
Citigroup (Citi)
Credit Suisse (CS)
Deutsche Bank (DB)
Goldman Sachs (GS or Goldman)
JPMorgan Chase (JPM)
Morgan Stanley (MS)
UBS

Understood. Yes higher but the UVA stats are averages so it may not be a fair comparison depending on Mcintire selectivity. Ross undergraduate is extremely selective. I'm not familiar with UVA enough to compare but those two would be apples to apples as both are undergraduate business programs. The UChicago kids are in all kinds of majors any of which are eligible to participate in the various clubs and the business track in Career Services which includes some Booth coursework.
