With all the rankings hoopla going on right now, several commenters (including me) were thinking there should be more attention paid to which schools get kids to top positions and graduate schools to further their careers. Every list here uses the per capita version adjusted for undergraduate enrollment to account for differences in the sizes of the student bodies.

I wish your list showed how many from from each school went on to the next step. It could be 5. Maybe 5-10 makes a school a top feeder. With Harvard Law, you can benefit from attending a no-name school and getting top grades and be accepted. It costs less to do that most of the time. From Harvard Law’s list of what undergraduate schools their students attended, one can see they want a wide range of schools and background represented. |

| The colleges listed are at the top because they get first pick of high school students who are most likely to be successful, not because of anything the colleges did differently than colleges that are a bit less selective. |

I’m so tired of ranking threads.
This isn’t how you pick schools. |
