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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
