Data notes: Class of 2028 profile page gives only class size, GPA, work experience, women %, international % (plus diversity stats); no GMAT/GMAT Focus/GRE, age, applications or acceptance rate, so those are null. An older Goizueta snapshot (Class of 2027, 128 students, GMAT 723) was seen in search results but not used because it is not the latest and was not fetched. Tuition page does not state a class year or per-year tuition ($158,400 'Total Tuition', $4,904 fees, $38,444 other annual estimated costs), so (rechecked 2026-11-04) tuition_annual is half the two-year Total Tuition and cost_of_attendance_annual stays null. Employment PDF states 'Two-Year MBA Class of 2025' (122 graduates, 93 seeking). employed_3mo_pct is offers by 3 months among seeking graduates (67 by graduation + 12 within 3 months = 79 of 93 = 84.9%); job acceptances by 3 months were 81.7% (76 of 93). Industry shares are of the 76 graduates accepting jobs (Table 4.C). The career page shows a 'Select Hiring Companies' logo wall without text names, so top_employers is empty. founded and program_length_months left null: not read from an official page. Rechecked 2026-11-04 in a browser: the Class of 2028 profile (98 students, GPA 3.43, 6 years, 38% women, 40% international) and the Two-Year MBA overview page still publish no GMAT or GRE figures, so test-score fields remain null.
