Geography might play a factor still, though, in the fact that Pittsburgh is closer to the extremely high priced areas of New England, so it wouldn’t be surprising if statistically, a higher percentage of grads worked in that geographic location. What would be most useful is if someone compiled a list of the average salary normalized for cost of living or listed schools’ salaries by region rather than overall, that way you could compare GT’s average salary in, say, NYC to CMU’s average salary in NYC. That would be a more fair comparison.
