<p>Another evidence to contribute to this thread : according to payscale, the starting salary for penn state is 48k but UIUC is 51k…and then mid career salary for UIUC is 95k but its 83k for PSU…UT Austin and PSU are kinda the same</p>
<p>I think the rankings should be based mostly on the quality of the freshman class not its prestige. Simple logic: people with high stats goto that college because it has some quality</p>
