First of all, you can assume the data is consistent throughout the entire profile. They collect this information every year from the graduating class of that year and the juniors who will graduate the following year. They wouldn’t talk about the “BBA Graduates-Class of 2006” and “BBA Interns-Class of 2007” in one part of the PDF and then mix up the classes for another part. So every “BBA Intern” stat is one class and every “BBA Graduate” stat is another class. They refer to their respective classes. Even if they combined them so that it was the entire school and not class, the juniors would still be the only ones mentioned for these internships. Freshman and sophomores aren’t included in the annual survey, and seniors don’t look for internships. That leaves you with only one class for interns: the juniors. And since only the graduating class goes for a FT job, that leaves you with one class for FT hires (obviously): the seniors. So it eventually becomes a class to class comparison any way you look at it. The only thing you stated above is “Wharton juniors get better internships then Ross juniors.” There is nothing to officially cite. You just have to use common sense.

On the whole, I agree with you that Wharton is superior to Ross (by far), but you just have to think about the stats you’re presenting.
