I think it could be due to the fact that most of the top ivies do not offer finance degrees (besides Wharton). Not only ivies but tier one schools in general. Think Stanford, Williams, Tufts, Vanderbilt, etc. I don't know of anyone disputing the fact that kids from these schools usually are the ones to receive top dollar offers upon graduation.
But with the number of colleges in america, how much impact can the top 50 (which is already a very loose definition by this board's standards) have on the average?
Not saying you're wrong, but just throwing this out there as a point to consider.
I agree, there are plenty of lower tier colleges that offer finance majors and the starting salaries feed into that final number.
lower tier colleges offer econ majors too...
If I read correctly, this is a survey conducted by NACE (National Association of College Employers), of which only a few schools are a part of. Perhaps the member schools tend to be the better ones? I know UPenn is one of the participating colleges.
The member list on the website seems pretty comprehensive/inclusive with hundreds of schools (from all tiers) registered. This does not mean that all these schools took part in the survey, however. There was not published lists of participating schools in the salary survey.
Maybe I am just going to have to concede to the fact that econ majors are just better now...
