A large firm in Manhattan reports that only one-third of the students to whom it offered jobs in the past two years ultimately accepted them (v. about one-half in previous years). Wyman-Kuchel has found that many A students do not even bother to show up for campus interviews any more. Says Wyman: "Sometimes our recruiters come back and say, 'We didn't even...
