Grad school placement stats

<p>I was wondering if grad schools publish the stats about their admitted students undergrad school ?
I think this should be one of the major criteria for choosing your undergrad school: how likely you are to get into law or business or whatever grad school you may desire.</p>

<p>My guess is that the closest you’re going to come is the National Science Foundation’s Survey of Earned Doctorates, which contains data about the doctors’ baccalaureate origins.</p>

<p>Do the undergrad schools publish data on where their graduates end up ?</p>

<p>I agree that this is one of the most important statistics. Only two colleges that I’ve read about mentioned it.</p>

<p>Do they publish it so that it can be easily accessed by the public? No.</p>

<p>But, say you’re a student at a given institution. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty and comb your Career Center, you’ll find the information you’ll need.</p>

<p>^Thanks. I have been researching the career centers and they do have some info, though incomplete and scattered. I was hoping however that someone had done a research on the matter. It would be nice for example to have a comparison of the situation 5 years after graduation for every Ivy, top universities, LACs etc. In my opinion, the desirability of a school should be linked to what kind of professional situation it is likely to get you to, not so much on a ranking which just measures endogenous factors such as academics, teacher/student ratios etc.</p>
