"Facts and Figures" about Williams

Colleges and Universities A-Z Williams College
1

<p>So I saw this on Williams' website:
"Williams’ rank among all colleges in The Wall Street Journal‘s list of colleges and universities whose graduates attend elite business, medical, and law schools: 1"
I wonder what you guys think?
I thought Williams was ranked 5th by WSJ feeder school ranking?</p>

<p>Admissions</a> – Williams College| Facts and Figures</p>

<p>And could any of you still access the list from WSJ? it says the link is broken for some reason for me...</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>So why does it say #1 on Williams’ website?</p>

<p>The key word is “colleges.” The institutions above Williams in the WSJ article are universities-- Williams is separating out LAC from research universities the way USNWR does in its ratings.</p>
