[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin’s working peer group is the very top of the LAC category:

Carleton is an interesting choice for this "peer" group.[/quote]

It’s at or above the grad school (PhD, MD, and JD) matriculation/acceptance rate of the rest of the group. MBA data is noisier since typically started much later.[/quote]

Carleton is a powerhouse for producing PhDs. That much I'll give you. But ...

Carlton's med school acceptance rate is 82% over the past five years.

Middlebury's med school acceptance rate is 90% over the past five years. 
https://www.middlebury.edu/teaching-learning-research/student-resources/health-professions/prospective-students

Bowdoin is 87%, Bates is 75%, Colby is 68%.

For law school, Both Carleton and Middlebury have acceptance rates of 89%.

You don't want to include MBAs because Middlebury far exceeds all the others.

Swarthmore 84%:

Couldn’t find on Williams’ site.

For PhDs, Middlebury isn’t in the top 60 while the “six colleges” group are all in the top 20 (except Bowdoin at 38.)

I don’t think any of them post MBA rates, including Middlebury, so you are just making noise on that.  MBAs are largely a function of work experience so it makes sense.
