Hello GMATClub!
How much of a factor do you feel REGIONAL career placement statistics should play in school decisions?
When I graduate, I would like to work in the Southeastern US (both my family and my wife's family live in the South
). The schools that I am considering are all over the board with the "% of graduates that land jobs in the Southeastern US" stat.
For example, % of jobs landed that are in the South:
Vanderbilt/Owen: 35%
UNC/Kenan-Flagler: 35%
Duke/Fuqua: 19%
Viriginia/Darden: 4%
Northwestern/Kellogg: 3%
So why is there a 32% range??
Which of these factors do YOU feel play a part in this difference? You could even break up the 32% out into pieces by each category.
A. Students in general want to stay close to their alma mater after graduation.
B. High-caliber Darden and Kellogg students land more elite jobs, which are generally based in the largest US cities: DC, NYC, Boston, Chicago, etc.
B2. Degrees from these Southern universities, which are less prestigious, do not "travel" as well. Therefore, the graduates try to stay in the South where their degrees are well-respected.
C. The schools with low percentages of graduates working in the South have a high percentage of international students.
D. The schools in the South have better connections to companies that are hiring in the South.
Ultimately, What I really want to know is if factor "D" above plays a part in the difference.
THANKS!
