CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science graduates earn $X” — not “Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
