\"converstion<\/a>A recent Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em> article, \u201cMBA Interns Seeking Job Offers Breathe a Sigh of Relief<\/a>,\u201d talks about the increased success b-school students have had in receiving job offers from their summer internships. BW<\/em> collected data from 30 top MBA programs in the U.S. Six of these said that they saw no changes in the internship-to-job conversion rate; eight programs said they expected a slight improvement; the remaining programs had no data to offer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still early, though. Some internships may be planning on extending offers, but just haven\u2019t yet. So these numbers may continue to improve.<\/p>\n
