Learn what truly sets the UC Riverside MBA apart and how it helps in your professional growth
Wow, your post wreaks of an underlying arrogance. Maybe you should just go to Oxford. Looking up employment stats is risk management more than anything else. Its not a matter of have a job handed to you on a silver platter and not having the self confidence to get whatever job you want. Its naive to think otherwise. Facts are facts some school place better into certain industries and certain companies. You are maximizing your output by going to the ones that will benefit your career. Example, someone that culturally likes Kellogg more than Wharton, but wants to work in PE, would have a much greater probability of getting a PE job from Wharton than Kellogg and thus should factor that into their decision.
Again, back to the whole issue of a network. Yes the world is global but is this a marketing pitch or an actual fact driven thought process and analysis. Out of curiosity I did a linkedin search for NY with a 50 mile radius, Said had 155 profiles vs. 1544 for Fuqua. Is this 100% accurate, no, by a 10x differential is huge. Who cares if your network is global if its not where you want to live and would actually benefit from. Now, like you said if you want to live in the UK then its a mute point, but as with the employment stats comment, its naive to ignore the relevance of this and not to do your homework here.

Now that everyone has this quibbling out of their system, would the two accepted candidates mind posting their stats and if they did anything while waitlisted? I believe one of you (kida) already posted that you did nothing and alluded to some general stats, but I'd be curious to know more as the rest of us sit and calculate the method to this madness.

There is no method. It's a totally subjective process. I've seen applicants with weaker profiles than my profile (a lower gmat, a lower gpa, less work experience, less leadership background and so on) who got into Fuqua. Don't try to get it, cause you won't.
was all ready to put my first deposit down elsewhere too. They literally gave me two days to pay my deposit and I am out of the country on business....
Good Luck!
