In U.S. News’ catch-all category, NYU Stern again produced the highest starting numbers. Here, graduates pulled down $191K to start, well ahead of UC Davis ($170,333) and Virginia Darden ($164,000). That said, these anonymous fields pay well. At Yale SOM, one graduate made $305K to start. Overall, 14 schools reported a grad topping out at $170K or more (with one or more grads at Harvard Business School, NYU Stern, Cornell Johnson, and Dartmouth Tuck venturing into $200K territory).
