Oh yeah...UCLA is working well towards strengthening the international element of their MBA program...more so than many of the other schools..
When I say placements for internationals I mean...placements for international students in the US, post MBA.
Many companies that go to "any" campus mention that they will not be hiring internationals to start with...this is true even for the best of schools...some companies just don't want to get into the VISA hassle.
This situation only gets compounded by talks of an imminent recession.
It is true that almost all the internationals got placed....but where? Did they get enough choice or was the job taken for the sake of a visa? This I say because the H1B scenario is far from good and can make people do crazy things.
So my question in essence was, how was the CMC helping students out?
In my opinion...it probably boils down to company policy regarding hiring internationals. No company would have separate policies for separate schools. But that is just me...

Not sure what you mean by placement? If the class is 1/3 international every year; they must be doing something right or the international students would stop coming.
