I got a mail for the Umich admission office stating their placement was 20%. I was admitted to Umich this year i rejected it bcoz of poor placements and location.

20% job placement is extremely poor but kudos to them for disclosing the info. These numbers should be public and readily available on their website. Can you post the email for the part that has relevant info?

Can't you just find that on their respective website?
If it's not online, and you are not a current student in the program, it's hard to find out.

The positions are very regional (Indiana, Iowa, Chicago, Michigan, Florida) and many graduates end up back home in Asia. NYC positions are a small fraction. Salary is in the 85K range.

Andy this is the mail i received from them....
The figures compiled for Fall 2009 graduates: 20% responded with job placement details upon graduation.
I cannot access figures for more recent grads (Fall 2010) because the site is down today. Internships for Summer 2010: 49% reported internships.

Well I dont know about NYU... But here is the part of mail which Rutgers admission committee gave me..
"Thank you for your email. I understand that coming to the US is a significant step and I am happy to answer your questions regarding job placement: The class size was 50, and about 90% of our students participated in the placement survey. Out of those 90% that responded, 100% are employed in the field."
But when i contacted a Current student in Rutgers math finance he said that this info may not be true..I am really confused here. But he also told me that the program in really good and the rigor of the program is what sells it..

Andy I have to say most of the programs are very secretive when it comes to placement info. Seriously they expect students to take a 100K$ loan and dont give them info..Boston university bluntly said that they are not going to give any more info than what is displayed in the website. As a matter of fact even Columbia's placement info is not accurate..

It sounds like a list of warning signs to stay away from these programs.
As a rule of thumb, take the numbers post on their website and try to verify it with at least 3 students of that graduating class. You can use LinkedIn to search for them. You will be surprised to see what they will tell you privately.
If the numbers are too good to be true (100% placement rate), they usually are.

This one?
Technically, there isn't much one can do to prevent people from showing their mastery of the English language. Fortunately, that kind of post pops up once in a very long while. I have to give credits to most of our active posters who are matured professionals. They help set a proper tone on the site as far as the proper language is concerned.

@hariadya
you need a reality check. You have no idea what you are talking about. Why do you e-mail them six times?what do you expect them to say?
Besides I know people from VTU , and I know all to well about India's local colleges and their quality.(Just to be clear I am from IIT Delhi, computer science)

Where has Michigan's ranking slipped? I'm considering going there and have done a lot of research but haven't been able to find any rankings less that two years old. Also, if anyone one the forum goes there, or knows anyone who does, it'd be great to get some inside perspective.

I talked to couple of current students in Michigan.. they said it pretty had to find a full-time job there and its not worth taking a big loan to study this course there.
