So... Where's Columbia in this ranking? Hard to believe that Booth, Sloan, Yale, Duke and Tuck all have better PE placement than Columbia.

It is literally right on their employment report. Here are their numbers from 2014:
PE: 2.4% VC: ~0% HF / Mutual Fund: 5.4%
I just googled the 2014 employment report and it showed 2.4% for PE. VC didn't have a percentage.
Even Stern is outperforming Columbia. Anyone have any insight into why this is the case?
outperforming in what sense? stern is like half size of Columbia. and the median pay is better at Columbia. plz next time when you make comparison, try to make a smart analysis. if you are gonna analyze stats this way, you will never make it top MBA programs.
maybe he can do marketing or something that apparently requires rigorous analysis ;)
I'm not making a comparison or conducting any sort of analysis, idiot. I'm asking a question. I'm not sure how class size or median pay are even remotely relevant here. We're (a) dealing with percentages and (b) talking about placement into a single industry i.e., not comparing considering the entire program. Thank you for your contribution, though.
Accidental double post.
PE has always been weak at CBS. Not quite sure why. They do pretty well with HF and long-only mutual funds though.
Are Esuric and mbavsmfin the same person??
Yes, CBS's PE placement is pretty weak. I'm not sure if it is self-selection or real reputation. Though most people I know in CBS target at secondary market investment instead of PE.
@kingfalcon provides correct number but I just want to add last item in CBS's IM placement:
PE: 2.4% VC: ~0% HF / Mutual Fund: 5.4% Other Investmnet Management: 5.2%
I'm not sure what "Other Investment Management" means but its pay scale is similar to HF. So I guess it is also some sorts of direct investing roles and should be counted in comparison.
Btw, Wharton's incoming class consists 12% PE/VC people. So its high PE placement is not a surprise. It just proves that the chance to get into PE without prior PE experience is really low.
honestly, i probably should not waste my time here to help you. i dont see you ever to be admitted into any top MBA program with your intelligence.
Well it seems like we have an early frontrunner for biggest douche of the week...
well. if you read my first comment, i was very nice and point out the flaws. then he called me idiot. not sure why i should be nice to him.
I don't understand this flame war. Why would someone NOT use percentages, absolute numbers are useless and meaningless. The Columbia shit-talking is way over-done on this site but @happyear is a bit intellectually lacking, to say the least.
I am not saying absolute number is better. But when u use percentage, u need to note the overall size. In the end, there are more people going to pe from Columbia. Also my argument is that you can't base on one stat. Compensations are also important to judge how well the placements are. My initial argument was to be more thoughtful and include more indicators. I am not arguing which school is better here.
Happyyear: was your recent boat ride comfortable?
PS -- Thanks for making the most nonsensical argument on WSO in recent memory.
PPS -- Let the monkey shit fly
Well I was having fun with op in this flame war. Then you guys showed up and ruined it. Now I can't continue anymore.
What he means is he is being deported back and 'the party' is going to question his failures
A 3 day ban, 15 monkey shits, a flame war and an accusation of being brady all because I asked why Columbia's PE placement is weak (IN A RELATIVE SENSE).
