The Penn info seems to lump Wharton and engineering in with the regular arts and sciences figures. That will increase the average salaries. Geographic location influences salary as well. Penn and UVa students are getting jobs. I don’t think the OP has to worry about that. I’m sure Brown kids are getting jobs too. I did look at the average Penn engineering salary for 2009 out of curiosity (as my son was an 09’ engineering grad ). The average Penn grad got 61,884. My son got thousands more than that so going to UVa does not seem to have disadvantaged him. UVa kids are recruited by major companies and many end up going to great graduate schools.
