Thanks- I am aware of avg RPI reported as 94K. However, if you look at the range, it is virtually identical at SB/RPI and many other schools- Actually many SB students have more than 100K (Wall street firms in addition to FB/Google/Microsoft) whereas only 1 RPI is reported above 100K. It seems to be more related to CS than school- Even UIUC/Austin report similar salary range with variations (More students get into Microsoft and Google from these schools compared to 1-2 from RPI/SB).
So I come back to same question- is it worth spending additional 100K at RPI/NYU or 175K at UIUC/UTA when you have free ride at SB CS/CE. Perhaps if you go for PhD, it will be easy to get into MIT/Ivy from UTA than SB
