No surprise that a list based on career prospects is populated by (a) schools with a large percentage of engineering and CS majors, and (b) schools targeted by the elite finance and consulting employers.

A student not majoring in engineering or CS and not interested in finance and consulting should be very careful about assuming that overall school averages that are heavily weighted by such will apply to him/her.
