| Tables do not always add up, individually or collectively, since both schools and individuals omitted data in some cases.*For schools that did not fill out the institutional survey, data were taken from graduate surveys, thus there is not full representation of their graduating classes. Michigan provided only a total number of graduates. This table represents placements of any kind. Comparison with other tables will show different numbers of placements.**Unknown status: 2,148 women, 614 men, for a total of 2,762 |
