Businessweek Stats Flawed???

<p>the businessweek website says that 96% of graduating students from MSB were NOT employed in the business feild!! that dosnt make any sense to me. also they say that the average SAT score is 1352 and mid 80% ranges from 1270 to 1440 which is contradictory to what the college website says. if businesseek's true it'll completely change my opinion on georgetown</p>

<p>Keep in mind that Georgetown is in D.C., so don't be surprised if all of those people take government jobs right down the road.</p>

<p>Nothing is wrong with those SAT scores. Georgetown is just known for their other schools and those schools excel the b-school there. I'm not shunning the b-school at all, considering I have that as my first choice for transfer, but it's the rest of their schools are phenomenal.</p>

<p>Keep in mind the stats are from last last year, that is to say, my year (2011) stats are not reflected... you can check the undergraduate website for an extensive analysis of stats...</p>

<p>I don't see the 96%. Can you point me to that? If that's graduate, I can understand.</p>

<p>Are you sure it wasn't the other way around? that 96% WERE employed in the business field? Most business students I know here do go into business, or into something like law school, so that stat is definitely flawed. The business school kids, for the most part, are always the ones that already have job offers months before they graduate, and they're rising in the rankings too.</p>

<p>from the article</p>

<p>Of 2006 graduates for whom we have information...</p>

<p>6% were seeking full-time professional employment in business</p>

<p>94% were not seeking full-time professional employment in business</p>

<p>For those not seeking employment in business...</p>

<p>90% of those were already employed at graduation</p>

<p>8% were planning to continue their education immediately after graduation</p>

<p>0% were postponing their job search</p>

<p>0% were planning to start their own business</p>

<p>2% of those not working were doing so for other reasons</p>

<p>(so in short, 94 percent were not LOOKING for work, because most already had it - 90percent)</p>

<p>LOL LOL!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Go G-Town, bey-bay.</p>

<p>you're welcome :)</p>
