School (primary)Verified, non-CSEAInt Excel: Profile of Class rows 7-20, 22-31; All-row of Hires by Function (r40) for headline range/median · Extracted 2026-05-06

What do these labels mean?
School (primary). Currently published by the school on its own site at extraction time. The most authoritative source.
School (archived). The school previously published this fact, but has since removed or replaced the page; we retrieved it via the Wayback Machine of the school's own URL. The bytes are still the school's, but the school no longer surfaces them. Trust is high; discoverability is the only loss.
Verified, non-CSEA. Extracted and double-checked, but the source report did not follow CSEA (MBA Career Services and Employer Alliance) standards.
Secondary attribution. Two sources combined: primary contributed most fields; secondary fills gaps. View secondary source (School (archived)).

What do these labels mean?
School (primary). Currently published by the school on its own site at extraction time. The most authoritative source.
Secondary reporting. Published by a credible third-party outlet (Poets & Quants, Clear Admit, GMAT Club, news publications) that itself sourced the data from the school's release at the time. Used when a school doesn't archive its own historical data and the Wayback Machine doesn't have the relevant page either. Trust is one transcription removed from the school.
