Note: Not all schools provided the information regarding their top MBA employers. That’s why, as you probably noticed, elite programs like Harvard Business School, Stanford, London Business School, and NYU Stern are missing from the above list.

| School | 2012 Estimated Hires |
| Harvard | 72 |

| Stanford GSB | 32 |
