Business schools
Each guide reads one school's published employment report and reports the consulting rows from it, with the class year and the date we read it. The care goes into the denominators: a placement rate and a median salary almost never rest on the same population, and the schools that print three different bases in three footnotes are the ones most often misquoted. No ranking is reproduced here.
