The very first thing that comes up on Google.
Surprise.
Also the stats fail to show internship placements.
Anecdotal evidence from a few people is more useful than a link like that one.
Probably more transparent than other schools, to be honest.
Anyway, what field are you trying to go into? I can try to help you.
I am looking to go into finance/marketing.
I think median is fine (basically tells the possibilities of an okay student within the context). Of course some people won't be doing that well (you think a school is going to have a spreadsheet listing incomes made by all graduates?), but a median is sometimes better than an average (which often doesn't suggest much about the distribution). In addition, if they are listed as "top" for a place like Emory, there are not going to be "2" people recruited. Also, rarely do places report internship data because it may be more difficult to get that information (it would have to be for credit, which often isn't the case, and if not, the student must self-report, which they likely won't. Often during internship season, you just take it and run. You don't go "I must tell the career center in GBS!"). Regardless, the BBA students are doing really well, no need to be overly worried.
Also, doesn't the GBS website maybe highlight some student experiences? Maybe you can find those. Most people who contribute here are in the college.
Finance is a very broad term.

I doubt it's changed much since then. But, yea, unless you go to Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, or Wharton, don't expect more than 5 or so kids to be hired every year from an elite company. Taking 2 out of Emory's b-school is a pretty good number, to be honest. Say - 200 kids in the class and 10 elite companies.... That's 20 kids or 10% of placement (of course, some of those kids had parental connections and some talented kids didn't want to go into finance).
As for companies, Deloitte and PWC love Emory. They have a very large number of employees and huge turnover, so they have to keep hiring every year from a large number of schools.
As for the positions they hold in the company, it varies. You'll never find a school divulge that information. But don't expect Emory to be a springboard into a front office bulge bracket job. Or an MBB position. It very rarely happens.
Still a weak argument on your end since you can simply add up the number of jobs in each sector and then subtract that from a class size of 250-275.
I am also interested in working for Delta, any info on that?
And, of course, they didn't help me out at all with my problem.
That was a couple years ago.
I used it again this year, and it was a million times better. Talked to a different person, of course. Not going to try to talk to that person ever again.
At the business school, it's much, much better from what I have heard.
