For 42 of the unranked schools that submitted sufficient data, the average rate of students not reporting job offers (usually the reporting cutoff is in the fall) was 22%. Last year, the overall average was 12%. Some schools fared better than others, but among the hardest hit were Texas Christian University's Neeley School of Business, the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business, the Howard University program, and American University's Kogod School of Business—all reporting more than 40% of students never getting an offer.
