<p>Where can I find it???</p>
<p>awww, my school isnt on the list....too bad i really want to go to a good grad school.</p>
<p>not that it should matter all that much though.</p>
<p>besides, i wonder if the list is based on the "effectiveness" of the colleges in helping the student get in, or simply how many people from those universities are recorded as going to grad school that year.</p>
<p>"
Below, our list of the top 50 feeder schools,
based on our count of how many of their alumni started this fall at 15 select grad programs (see Behind the Rankings). The rankings are based on the
number of students a college sends to a grad school divided by the colleges class sizeour Feeder Score."</p>
<p>hmm so i imagine it's a very "fluctuative" list....</p>
<p>i think its generally not as flawed as people complain it is. but for schools that send 1-3 kids, i'm sure there are years they send 0.</p>
<p>yeah i didnt notice that though, that's a little odd amongst other things.</p>
<p>hopefully though the list simply gauges people traffic and nothing more, like effectiveness.....which may be an tought think to rank anyhow.</p>
<p>Is it jsut me or does that study merely show enrollment in professional schools like Law, Business and Medicine? I wouldn't go to either one of those schools but I would be going to grad school as a would-be academic...</p>
<p>Not only is it professional schools, it is also the TOP professional schools that they are rating. 15 of them, I believe.</p>
<p>So the rankings, although quite believable, are also quite narrow.</p>
<p>yes - too narrow to include people like me (hopefully)
hmmmph</p>
<p>well for me considering i'm interested in the top program for business, it sort of directly applies to me in a way, but seeing as it's just enrollment numbers it's almost a coincidence scale.</p>
<p>this chart of the top ten schools percentage wise for students who recieve their Ph.ds may give you more information re percentage of students in various majors

<p>It only includes 15 different graduate schools, so unless you're set on those 15 schools (which are listed somewhere, not on that page though), it doesn't necessarily apply. I'm sure much more than 20% of Harvard goes to Grad School, just not necessarily to those 15.</p>
<p>I find that list slightly biased in a sense. My school barely cracks the list yet a lot of the kids go on to graduate school: just usually it's either here on campus or another not quite as "high grade" institution. I'm pretty sure the majority of kids go onto grad school easily... just a thought.</p>
<p>The WSJ is on to something. Unfortunately, they only did half the job. Instead of looking merely at 5 of the best Law Schools, Medical Schools and Business Schools, they should have looked at the top 15 in each field, and included Engineering.</p>
<p>And done it for more than just a single year.</p>
<p>Besides the LAC's, the schools that have the highest scores on the WSJ rankings are those that have the best graduate schools! Is it no coincidence that Harvard is #1? They have a top 5 business, law, and medical school. They also have the biggest enrollment of any undergraduate institution at each one of those graduate schools.</p>
<p>But by saying "besides the LACs" you miss the point. The top schools are pretty much in line with USNEWS.</p>

<p>I agree with Alexandre, the list isnt fair to schools not listed as top 5 grad, such as stanford. Overall, the list might not be exact, but its close...</p>
