It is interesting. My two theories would be a) people at top schools follow these meta-discussions more and are therefore are more likely to be ahead of trend b) someone who could do comp-sci at Stanford could easily become something like a doctor, but at small schools there's not an obvious second option that's also high earning.

That’s interesting, so maybe - Stanford enrolls say 50k people and lets the chips fall where they may in terms of majors and doesn’t like prescriptively try and recruit x numbers of comp sci majors. — and the chips are falling away from CS.

Or they are recruiting for growth, but as students progress the natural rate of major change is not as biased towards CS.
