others that claim to be excellent at placement don’t fare as well as expected.

<p>As well as expected by whom? To my thinking, the methodology makes it hard to know what expectations should be. My only expectation is that for top colleges, the respondents are going to be atypical of their classmates in terms of education. What that means for their salaries, their career fields, their likelihood in answering the salary survey, and the placement prowess of their alma maters is open to a variety of interpretations.</p>
