2006 BU Midrange Private Sector Salaries

[Neub]

Anybody notice that it fell to $50,000 on the 25% end?! Now BC's fell slight to $95,000, but $50,000 is similiar to the lower ends of Northeastern and Suffolk, and no where near a top 20 school.

[Mister Mo]

Scary. It's possible that the bottom quarter were making $50K or less, and the jump to $100K plus began at the 26%. Unlikely, but possible.
One has to question whether schools fudge numbers, or USNWR doesn't apply standards consistently.
That number seems funny.

Wow. BC continues to impress me over BU. I will have to double check this fact, but if its true,...wow.

[Neub]

Yeah, without having any real knowledge on the reasons behind this huge drop, this is another strike against BU. Starting out, BU and BC were sort of tied in my mind, with the edge going to BU.  I feel now that the momentum is completely shifted to BC and I might as well start writing out the deposit check.

[nubova]

Yeah. BU continue to be unimpressive. I think its off to BC for me; I loved it there. I agree with someone on this board who once said, just visit the two campuses and the decision will be made on its own.

I am currently living in Boston.  BC campus is hands down the nicer between the two and around Boston is definitely the better regarded.  Only minus ot BC is it is Newton which is a bit outside the city but accessible by public transport.  I am currently trying to decide between it and GWU

[GO_PTO]

anybody ever gather any more information about the wild drop?

[GO_PTO]

any info on the middle of the salary range?

[miller]

I dont think there is a sight for that except the school's site itself.

If it makes any difference, I've heard BU law students complaining about the law building. Its a 1960's psuedo-art high rise that seems to be somewhat faulty inside. Though some students are calling for its replacement, It probbly won't be replaced anytime soon.
