<p>lol wait… I’m 100% sure there has never been a ranking based on average salaries for school-specific graduates… and there never will be.</p>
<p>There’s a couple of reasons for this:</p>
<ol>
<li>It depends on the job</li>
<li>Many graduates, especially from Ivies move on to graduate schools (income = 0)</li>
<li>There’s been a very famously cited Princeton study that STATISTICALLY PROVES that the average salary of the Ivy League graduate and the average salary of the state-school grad that had a chance to go to an Ivy makes over the course of a lifetime the same salary.</li>
</ol>
<p>Point?: There’s no causal relationship between the school you graduate from and starting salary. (i.e. it depends much more on personal ambitions, qualifications)</p>
<p>In terms of investment banking (often viewed as one of the most prestigious jobs available to a recent grad), Yale is definitely a target school, but you’re right-- it’s not as “prestigious” as Harvard, Wharton, and even Princeton in that area. It’s more on par with MIT, Dartmouth, Columbia (all of who recruit amazingly as well).</p>
