Two great gets - and btw - you can do co op at RPI too (and most schools).
One is in Boston - and one isn’t. That’s a main difference - what do you think about that?
Both also publish career stats - while these typically don’t include all people reporting, RPI is showing a $105K salary with a $65K to $165K range. They don’t list success rates.
NU doesn’t show a salary average but bands. They show 4% still looking but when that was timeframe wise it doesn’t show. I put some links below for you.
Best of luck - if nothing else, the I’m in Boston vs. I’m not might be all you need to use to differentiate.
