Full-time MBA placement and pay for the class of 2025 at 19 schools, from each school's employment report as compiled in F1GMAT's workbook (16 February 2026) and published on F1GMAT's analysis pages. Shares are each school's own column (% of hires, % hired, % of accepted offers); no school states the denominator, so shares compare within a school and only loosely across schools.
