I have no idea how the post-grad employment stats are collected at these different schools, but was told at Madison for eg that they are proud of theirs being in the low 80s% (don’t recall exact #) despite it sounding low, since they require all their grads to submit this info vs other schools that report higher %'s are often not using 100% of their grad pool, but rather those that responded voluntarily… the implication being that the number of unemployed was understated, those students being less inclined to respond to survey. Just a reminder to check methodology.
