I've been researching MBA programs (mostly Canada, UK, rest of Europe, and 1 in Australia) for the past couple of months, and targeting my MBA starting 2013 (Winter or Fall, depends).
1 thing on which I keep on stumbling is the placement/career services facilities of the various schools, and moreover most of the schools have separate stats for school facilitated and graduate facilitated activities. Now, I want to know how to interpret the percentages if I want to know how much effective the career services department of a school is.
Are the schools having more of Graduate facilitated activities have a weaker Career services department? Latest of the example from 1 of the schools:
Graduate Facilitated - 57% (Personal Networking - 43%, Job Adverts/Recruiters - 9%, Previous Employer - 5%)
School Facilitated - 43%
Now I am wondering what does Personal Networking has to do with your placement. Although, I am not degrading the value of Personal Networking, but does the above stat mean that 43% of the class got the jobs because they had some sort of contacts in the Industry they wanted to go post-MBA?
Can I believe that the above school doesn't promise me a great cohesion with the recruiters?
I might be asking too much, or missing something here, but will appreciate if someone can answer my query.
