Interesting data, but I'd like to see a regression done of CS program graduate earnings on the average SAT/ACT scores of the school and then see what programs had the highest residuals -- earnings not explained by SAT scores. In general, most of the supposed benefits of attending a more selective school are illusory and come from student characteristics upon matriculation.

Reminds me of a local private school that loves to advertise their student’s success (granted I don’t blame them).

But that school tests and filters so they get kids who I suspect would be successful regardless.
