UMD Smith MBA Employment Report Legit or Overinflated?

Hey guys/gals! I got an offer from UMD's MBA program with a generous scholarship + fellow, which comes out to cover the full tuition. So I've been doing research on their employment report and on their page, which shows these stats. IMO these # s are very good especially when I won't have to pay for tuition. https://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/programs/full-time-mba/career
My biggest question is: are these stats legit/true? Or are these stats overinflated? I would appreciate feedback from current/alumni MBA students!

Good question! I believe there is an easy explanation. This is in no way a hit on Smith or their integrity... this is just the reality of MBA employment reports. All Schools do this: notice that there is no category for "unemployed" or "failed to recruit" or "deported" (hopefully not anyone). But the reality of the employment reports is that they tell you where people are employed at. It does not tell you where the graduates are. For example if 50% of grads were employed and the other 50% were still looking for the job at the time of the report being published, you would only figure that out based on the "reporting number" which usually is tucked away somewhere and you have to compare it to the class size which may or may not be included in the report.
This is a classic "GMAT" style CR question - find the discrepancy...
