<p>"why arent schools like Davidson, Hamilton, Colgate, Carleton etc on the list"</p>

<p>The bottom line is that small schools aren't considered, even if they sent 100% of their grads to the targets surveyed. That's why the list is worse than useless; it is deceiving in that it fools readers into thinking which schools are the best feeders.</p>
