I guess CMU is not showing jobs placement for 2003 because their job placement is way down from 2002. CMU job placement stats for MSCFThis seems to be an indication that jobs are still very tuff to find in quant finance.Anyone out there from CMU that will comment on job placement for 2003?thanks

Actually, like most universities in the US, CMU 2003 graduation wasin the Spring ( April 30) not December.

Therefore, mightn't the schools wait until at least a few months later (if not until year end) before reporting the final jobs tallyfor the class of 2003? What's the official definition of "placement" these days in terms of timing? Is it always at graduation time and never later?

Thanks, that is the info I wanted.On CMU's homepage for MS Computational Finance they still have only alink to 2002 job placements, they don't have the 2003 link you provided.
