[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the list of schools that rank well in per capita production of PhD candidates in biological sciences and give merit aid... Earlham Mount Holyoke Grinnell St. Olaf Ursinus Juniata Kalamazoo St. Mary's College of Maryland https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-phd-programs#biological-sciences[/quote] This table is such a good example of people not understanding data. The strength of a program is not indicated by the number of Ph.Ds they produce, but the percentage of students in the major who go on to earn Ph.Ds. A school X that sends 95% of their biology majors on to PhD programs is a stronger school than Y that sends 40%, even if X produces only 85 grads to Y’s 600. [/quote]
