<p>Hi, </p>
<p>Can anyone guide me to a website where I can find the performance of MIT undergraduates for job placements and/or grad school placements? (or if you can name examples by head)</p>
<p>How do MIT undergrads do compared to other ivies/top schools?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>You’ll need to give more information about yourself. What major? Career aspirations (academic vs. industry)?</p>
<p>Judging by your previous posts, you like the physical sciences. The statistics on the physical science graduate schools are not generally published and vary by department. </p>
<p>In physical science graduate schools, MIT undergrads do well, but no school “dominates”.</p>

<p>The link above lists the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program winners. This fellowship is considered one of the most prestigious awards for graduate studies. You can sort through the data by undergrad education/field/proposed graduate school/current school. You can get a feel for how well MIT undergrads stack up with the rest of the US, and you can also get a feel for which schools are preferred for a specific field. However, not everyone who gets the fellowship attends the graduate school they list because the undergraduate applicants fill out the application way before they choose/are accepted to their proposed graduate school.</p>
<p>From the link, ~44/950 -> ~ 4.5% were MIT undergrads. What’s more important is that you look into your specific field.</p>
<p>Problems with the link: it tends to favor kids who are heavy into research already and know what they want to pursue, but I think it is a decent guideline given the lack of pooled information.</p>
<p>In industry, you also have a lot of options, but you’re going to have to be a lot more specific about your field. You could be a History major that likes math and science for all I know. Your job prospects out of undergrad are probably not going to look so bright compared to an EECS major.</p>
<p>On a side note: I’d worry more about what you want to do specifically than what the majority of undergrads do/accomplish. How well you do should be independent of what other people do.</p>
<p>I hope this helps!</p>
<p>Thanks for the help. Well, I’m thinking about course 2 with course 8 double major or major in course 2 and minor in course 8.</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but statistics for the academia/industry/consulting jobs would be great. Anything about what MIT grads do after MIT, or 10 yrs down the road would be great.</p>
<p>The Careeers Office’s annual graduating student survey is [url=<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/career/www/infostats/graduation.html]here[/url”>http://web.mit.edu/career/www/infostats/graduation.html]here[/url</a>]. This isn’t a source of total information on career and grad school choices made by MIT undergrads, because not everybody fills out the survey, but it’s pretty good. The survey shows that MIT is the most common graduate destination of MIT undergrads, and I would strongly tend to assume that MIT is the most common undergraduate origin of MIT grad students as well.</p>
<p>I can only offer specific stats on my program (one of the top programs in biology), but MIT is the most common undergraduate origin of grad students in my program by far, both per capita and in absolute numbers.</p>
<p>Mollie! It was great seeing you in flesh and blood last weekend 
(PM me if you can guess who I am).</p>
<p>^^ Wow I’m jealous. How very cool!</p>
