How to evaluate a college's grad/law/med school placement success?

<p>Thanks… that post did bring up several points I hadn’t thought of (although I already suspected there would be huge problems comparing data school to school). </p>

<p>But we would like to find a way to compare say, law school admits from WashU to American. WashU is far more “selective” a school, but American is in a great location, has a really outstanding internship program and has offerred a lot of merit money… But, when DS graduates, will a degree from American’s School of Public Affairs have the value of a WashU degree in the law school (or grad school) admissions process?</p>
