To say that those placements "stink" is hyperbole. They are downright atrocious.

Let's look at the bright side for a second. Firstly, it's great that they actually gave us that list in the red folder - I admire their transparency.
From a quick count - approximately half the class has internships/ full-time offers and from reading the first page of the March 7 issue of Cornell Business (also in the red folder they gave us) - look at article 'Finding the Elusive Job" by Karin Ash of the CMC - she states "Even in good markets, among the top business schools, most full-time job offers are made in November, April, May, and June. Half of the first-year class receives their job offers in April and May" so hopefully numbers should look a lot better by next month.
And although MC, IB recruiting looks bleak - others functions (especially marketing) job stats are looking much better.

Let's try to keep a positive outlook.
It is difficult to hear some of these horror internship/recruiting numbers and stories when we are investing a lot in the next 2 years.
Personally, I try not to look at what is happening this year - mainly because if I want to keep my sanity, ignorance might be bliss. It's brutal out there for many bschool students and I feel lucky that I will not be part of the class who has to enter the job market this year.
Lately, whenever I hear bad news about job numbers or the economy, I keep telling myself - "If you look at most top bschool's employment reports, there isn't a single period where the employment numbers are below the norm for 3 straight years (especially after a crisis year). So if we consider this year's job market as the crisis year, by the time year 2011 rolls around, we should be okay. At least that's the bubble I try to create around me.
