[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The source may not use LinkedIn data [b]at all[/b]. For example, this is a more or less a standard categorization of colleges by selectivity:

Took 1 google search for a ranking: 
[b]In order to identify “top feeder” colleges, we relied on publicly available data from LinkedIn, a professional networking site featuring profiles of approximately 170 million workers across the United States. [/b]

For its feeder school rankings, College Transitions uses LinkedIn to obtain matriculation data, such as that of the undergraduate colleges and law schools attended according to the profiles. In that these profiles have a professional intent, they are likely to be reasonably reliable. Someone not seeking this type of information might find it simpler to read replies of interest to them[/quote]
Most people use the feeder lists, not the other ranking lists from college transitions to make their points. I am suspecting most of these are bots and not real people.[/quote]
