<p>“How does it feel knowing that our inferior students chimed in with almost $700 more than UVA students as far as average starting salary goes?”</p>
<p>Most students who graduate from UVA go on to get their PhDs, JDs and MDs from top universities, volunteer for the Peace Corp (#1 school to the Peace Corps), get recruited by Teach for America (the seventh-highest feeding school), get Fulbright scholarships and become Rhodes Scholars (#1 public university to produce Rhodes Scholars). Tech undergrads get jobs in the private sector. It would be a shock if UVA came out ahead. Of course that flawed ranking didn’t take any of this into account. </p>
<p>It’s quite pathetic that Tech students trained in the sciences by and large only make $700 more than UVA students, where we study philosophy, american studies and Swahili. </p>
<p>Those from UVA who do get jobs like our English Lit majors make $700 less a year than your chemical engineers. What a shame~</p>
