MBA Data That Matters: P&Q’s Complete Admissions And Pay Collection Of 2022

Here’s how it starts. You ask around. You jot down some names. And then you do reconnaissance over the net. Here’s what you learn. Everyone values something different. There are always more unknowns than assurances. And the quantifiable – data – tells a deeper story.

You can never have enough data – or so the cliché goes. Reality is, data is only as reliable as its source – or the intent and of its users. For some, data is a puzzle piece, a way to narrow down options to make more informed decisions. For others, data guards against the allure of anecdotes and observations, providing evidence of accuracy and justification for actions

For MBA applicants, data provides answers to underlying questions. A GMAT score? It tells you if your candidacy is even in the conversation for a particular school. Post-MBA pay and placement? It answers the immediate return on your investment. Average cost and debt? It helps you gauge your tolerance for discomfort and risk.  More than that, data enables applicants to compare business schools side-by-side, so they can identify which programs stand out – and where.

So where do business schools – and employers – thrive? This year, Poets&Quants authored over 50 articles that provided reliable data to help MBA applicants choose business schools and employers that aligned with their ambitions, interests, and values. From GMAT scores to consultant pay, here are the data points that mean the most to MBAs.
