<p>Are there any rankings of how colleges place students in Business, Law, Medical School, etc.?</p>
<p>This is very specific for history grad programs</p>
<p>I wonder if similar studies exist for other disciplines.</p>
<p>That's was I was wondering as well. Though I was looking for links to ranking by specifics schools' representation in elite grad schools. I think someone on this board once mentioned that Harvard and Yale published how many students from specific undergraduate schools were enrolled in their law schools. Thus one would be able to compare that number to the total number of undergradautes at the specific school to determine the porportion of students at these elite law schools. Such a figure would be a fairly accurate way of comparing colleges as far as law school. Does anyone remember the links to this information of the Harvard and Yale sites. Also, I would be interested in seeing similar figures for Medical and Business school.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that many students no longer apply to or attend Med/Law school directly after finishing undergrad as some choose to work, enroll in post bac programs or other grauate programs first. some students are admitted and defer admission and become a member of the following years class.</p>
<p>So in any given year while you may see the number of people from a particular college enrolling in the current class at Law/Med school you do not know the back story which can be very telling.</p>
<p>if you haven't already seen it.</p>
<p>While it has some flaws, such as being based on only one year of data and only using five grad schools in each of the three disciplines, I think it's still pretty relevant. I know I was a little bothered as a Colgate alum, who attended one of their 15 'criteria' grad schools, that it wasn't in the top 50; especially considering I would have thought Colgate was stronger than any of the bottom 20. One way this study is off (which probably doesn't hurt Colgate very much) is the extent to which undergrads at the schools are not pre-professional. This probably hurts schools like Wesleyan & Bates to some degree and despite the fact that Cal Tech is a greatly respected school, considering that 36% of its grads get a PhD, is amazing that it even ranks as high as #28 on this list.</p>
