Fascinating!

Absolutely hilarious to see the elite schools (tried Brown, UPenn, MIT, CMU) completely blow the lesser schools (NC State, Clemson) out of the water for both lower or equal debt with higher compensation. Really puts a dent in the "it doesn't matter where you go to school for a CS degree" mentality.

Also keep in mind that elite schools have a selection bias to kids from much more affluent backgrounds. Affluent kids often have parents with friends in the industries they are entering. So take the data with a grain of salt unless they controlled for factors like that.
