Thank you! What is the definition of the Top MBA programs? This is US only I assume as the US programs are the most transparent?
What about % of the class reporting or recruiting/not recruiting? Did you notice any trends or abnormalities there?
P.S. Tepper did well too in Tech last year - 29% of the class https://gmatclub.com/forum/best-mba-pro ... 21312.html

Hey bb,
Thank you for the comment! I have added a note. I will be making another post with European business schools.
Also, the reason for those who are not seeking employment varies from school to school. Usually, people go back to their pre-MBA employers or take up entrepreneurship.
