International Students Employed 3 Months after Graduation by School!!

Question

This is a sequel of our earlier article on job prospects of international students after MBA in US. We went on to collect placement stats of top 50 US Bschools and analyzed placement rates of domestic and international students as well as proportion of students taken employment outside the US.

We then calculated the range of actual placement rates of international students within US considering two extreme scenarios. (1) All students taken employment outside the US are international, and (2) None of the students taken employment outside the US is international. When we calculated this range we found that school's rank does not seem to have as much impact as some believed on the employment opportunities of the international students; however, this conclusion is based on placement stats published by schools. I would highly appreciate if current students/recent graduates could express their opinions on this finding as they know the ground reality.

Narenn, did we miss something while calculating the range?
Take a class of 500.
Internationals - 35% = 175
Placed -95% = 166
12% of class placed outside US = 60 students
If we assume that students placed outside are all internationals, then only 100 international students are placed within US
This makes the range 57% to 95%

Correct me if I'm wrong, don't business schools count US permanent residents as "International" as well? Does the table here do that too? If so, it might be overstating the employment prospects for those on a F1 visa. But I guess that's the limitation unless business schools offer a breakdown for permanent residents and those on visas.

Thank you for putting together this table. This is very helpful.

Narenn · Answer

I don't think so. All business schools we studied above have classified their students in two categories: Students with permanent work authorization and Students without permanent work authorization. It's unlikely for a US citizen to not have permanent work authorization, no matter whether he/she lives in US or not.

Morgan15 · Answer

Hi Narenn, thank you for the reply and the clarification.

I asked because on Harvard's website, they say 35% of the MBA class is international but there's an asterisk indicating that includes permanent residents. So an Indian citizen with a green card would still be classified as international at least for the class profile.
