Ah wonderful, thanks for this.

What is everyone thinking about the 2025 rankings? Curious to hear people thoughts on some of the big jumps in the ranking this year.

@Andy Nguyen out of curiosity, would you ever consider posting more information about compensation distributions. In particular, I think it'd be interesting to see median compensation.

It is always better to have meaningful data. I definitely would love to share them when I have access to them.

The employment rates is very interesting... shows that nothing is guaranteed!

Would be cool to add a column that shows the number of spots the program in read or decreased in the rankings relative to prior year. Seems like a big shake up this year.

Yes, that idea did cross my mind. In the meantime, we do keep track of each program's rank over the years. Here is an example

For the employment “3 months” data, how was this captured? Was this only considered for related careers to FE or is this any employment? Some jumps in employment from post graduation to 3 months are a bit large

To me, the three main observations are: MIT jumping back to 5, Courant falling heavily and GT entering top 10. I think all of them can be explained by the employment figures, it was a bad market in general.
