[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.

This is what I call a case of the "usual suspects". The top 10ish in all the elite fields is very consistently Harvard, Duke, Yale, Stanford, with healthy doses of UPenn Dartmouth and Columbia. Even UChicago does well in the non-medicine and non-tech fields. Was this unexpected?[/quote]

I think you're selling these lists short, there were definitely some interesting insights for me. Who knew Claremont McKenna was this good for jobs and graduate school in law and business? Columbia is recognized as elite but who knew it was this good at sending kids to top tech companies, along with Northeastern? Who knew Middlebury was a top Wall Street feeder and business school feeder in the same ballpark as Princeton? Duke is of course exceptional but who knew it would outpace Harvard and Stanford to be the only school that was a top 10-12 feeder to the best destinations in [i]every[/i] field? Who knew Yeshiva was a top 10 feeder to the best law schools in line with Stanford? Etc. etc. I'm certainly going to look more into Duke and Columbia now for my son who has a variety of interests, and Claremont McKenna and Middlebury have definitely popped up on my radar if any of my younger ones end up having more interest in business.[/quote]
