What is the median salary forgone prior to MBA matriculation?

Does anyone have any sort of data regarding what the average salary of MBA students at the top programs was prior to their matriculation into b-school?

I know it's not going to be an exact science since b-schools don't necessarily keep track of this info. I'm merely trying to gauge where I am in relation to others.
