A problem is lack of validity in your outcome data. The other is problems with attributions related to outcome . That is, high paying jobs after Brown may have nothing to do with the fact that the student went to Brown.That does not provide information about the strength of the program. My understanding is that the curriculum and the research opportunities are better at other places and less good at Brown. My understanding is that the entry level math and science skills of engineering and computer science students at Brown are less strong than those of engineering and computer science students at other schools with stronger computer science and engineering programs. My understanding is that the breadth of research topics and labs is more restricted at Brown compared to other programs. There is a reason Brown is not well known for its strong engineering and computer science programs. It has to do with relative quality. Oh yeah, and those on the cutting edge of engineering and computer science are not chomping at the bit to get themselves a hot position at Goldman Sachs! lol what is that, the results from a handful of computer science majors? What does what tell you. Nothing.
