If you want to know how successful an MBA program is, look at how many people the school employs to raise donations from alumni. The bigger the alumni fundraising team, the bigger the pockets of their graduates.
But from your numbers, what's the split in child acceptance rate between "former student" vs "former student who donates"?
And now I'm even more curious, what's an average rough donation amount to hold onto this "reserved spot"?
That’s where you see the difference. Not necessarily “better”, but certain schools will get you into certain roles.
