I imagine that #13 may be re-ranked in light of last night’s victory.

My school zig zags - we get up (#30 this year) and then we fall :slight_smile: It is interesting how some names - a Notre Dame, GTown, Wash U type - are materially at a lower level than undergrad but UTD has made it high on the list for years.

Whether that dismisses their degree - I don’t know. UND places a big chunk (30%) in consulting at $175k and 30% in financial services (assuming includes IB) at $150K. Other industries pay less. They note 97% salary knowledge - so they’re capturing almost all.

I was admitted to #2, #4, and #13. Clearly, I blew it.

GO BLUE!
