CMU MSCF CMU Placement stats - inconsistent ?

[eager_to_learn]

Link 1 --> Class of 2011 Full Time students
50 students = seeking employment
1 student = not seeking employment
-----------------------------------------------------
Total Full Time students = 51
-----------------------------------------------------
Assuming that "Class of 2011" refers to students entering in Fall of 2010,
Link 2 --> 2010 = 40(PA) + 38 (NY) = 78 Full Time Students
Is this a mistake on CMU's end or am I missing something here (more likely) ?

Assuming that "Class of 2011" refers to students entering in Fall of 2010,

According to that link, Full-Time MSCF Graduating December 2010 (Class of 2011), this means students entering in Fall 2009.
They don't have 2009 admission stats on their website but according to our Wiki, their class size of 2009 is 70 (a big drop)

This may correspond for that 51 full-time students number.
They usually report placement numbers 3 months after graduation and do not report status of part-time students (as far as they are concerned, they are already fully employed).
That said, I can't seem to find the reports for Full-Time MSCF Graduating December 2011 (Class of 2012) which graduated over a year ago.

the latter. you're mixing up two class years. it is confusing, though, as students will often refer to themselves as class of 2012 if they're graduating in december 2012, even though the school treats it as the class of 2013.

Andy Nguyen, mfegrad -- Thought so. Thanks for the clarification. I knew I was missing something, just couldnt figure out what
