Job Seeking Percentages: Some schools, like HBS (Harvard Business School), have a low percentage of students seeking jobs (70%), suggesting that many students might pursue entrepreneurial ventures or being sponsored or have a job lined up before they enter.
Consulting Dominance: Consulting is a popular choice across many schools. For example, 45.4% of Yale graduates and 44% of Tuck graduates enter consulting, highlighting the strong appeal of this sector.
Regional Preferences: Schools like Haas (UC Berkeley) and UCLA Anderson, located in California, have higher percentages of graduates entering tech, reflecting the strong tech industry presence in Silicon Valley.
East Coast Finance Hubs: East Coast schools like Columbia and Wharton have higher finance percentages, likely due to their proximity to major financial centers like New York City. Does location play a bigger role in career outcomes than we think?
Foster’s tech dominance: Foster (University of Washington) has a staggering 47% of graduates entering tech, which is higher than even Stanford (22%) and Sloan (19%). This does not mean that you will get a better job by going to Foster than Sloan, but location and industries near the schools sphere of influence have a significant impact.

Basically, you do not want to apply with these goals or recruit because nobody is hiring. These are really challenging to recruit into after an MBA. While nothing is impossible, recruiting into these "impossible" industries is going to take up a lot of effort that may be fruitless and likely will be very hard to get admitted since AdCom do not like admitting people who want to pursue impossible goals.

Thanks BB. These charts are basically ranking charts but for "why MBA" & "why this school" questions.
Makes the application process so much easier.

I was hoping it would show people schools to focus on in zero and that match their goals… I was also hoping it would show people what careers are not really a good fit for the MBA. For example hospitality, and some of the other industries don’t have any recruiting programs for MBA graduates or interns. Are industries have very few. This is important not only for your career but it has immediate impact on your chances of admission. If you apply to school and your goal is to go into real estate and you don’t have any prior work experience in that industry, chances are you will get dinged for not doing enough research… no matter what your GMAT score is. 😬
