CMU MSCF CMU MSCF - NYC v/s PA

[Math Andrew]

The 100% FT number is a little better, but it's for 6 months post graduation, where as CMU's 90% is 3 months post graduation.

True this is also a factor, though I know CMU numbers as of today, i.e. almost after 6 months post graduation and they're not 100%.

 

[wow]

Okay, let us assume that you are better at numbers than ordinary people like us.
So according to your number crunching:
CMU (6 failures + 18 people without internships + 84% full-time placement)
=
Berkeley (100% internship placement with salary $7,300 per month + 100% Fulltime placement with salary $158,000 per year)
I don't know how many people will believe your number-crunching.

Sorry, I shouldn't have generalized. It made me seem arrogant. I guess I was just referring to you.

In that case, the number certainly is impressive.

CMU numbers are wrong here. Full time placement was 90% last time they released stats to current students.
Also, maybe Berkeley failed some people as well (how about those people not looking for an internship?).

6 failures, meaning 6 people either dropped out / were kicked out? I find that pretty hard to believe considering the size of the class...

yes but keep in mind that that number comprehends also part time students.

 

[mhy]

Why is the dropout rate higher for part-time students? People quit in the middle if they think they don't need it anymore? Too demanding to work / study at the same time? Got relocated at the job?

FYI, as of June 21st, 81 students out of 84 have internships.

81 students have accepted the internship position. 83/84 have internship positions.

Thanks

What those numbers don't say is how many of those internships are unpaid internships and desperate students who are willing to take/do anything.

true, but other schools' numbers don't say it either.

Berkeley says that they have 100% internship placement with AVERAGE SALARY $7,300 per month. It is safe to assume that all the internships are paid and the students are not doing unpaid internships.

that's the same CMU reports. So it is safe to assume that all the internships are paid and CMU students are not doing unpaid internships.

Could you please provide the link where CMU reports the Average Internship salary? I could only find the salaries for the full-time placements of CMU.

I think it's publicly released after the summer. We have it being current students.
mean is currently 6.8k and median is 6.9k.
