A few hundred for yours truly. (BS in CS, top 10 US research institution.)

By a few hundred, how much do you mean? Huge difference between 300, 600, and 900

My over/under would be 400, but it was 15+ years ago for me, so that may be overly impressionistic.

Things I did not materially interact with: * databases * source control * non-manual testing (except for “magic” that was used to assess assignments) * HTML/CSS/JS (was assumed interested students would figure it out)

Yes. There was a 300 level course available in them but it wasn’t emphasized as important. I wrote my first line of SQL for Bingo Card Creator.

Anomalous strengths at graduation: socket programming for client/server, Java Swing UIs, assembly, building toy CPUs, and discrete math. (They also taught compilers but I was distracted that semester and winged my way through w/o learning anything.)

Ok, that's not a bad tradeoff
