"Facts and Figures" about Williams

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?

Admissions – Williams College| Facts and Figures

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

Thanks in advance

So why does it say #1 on Williams' website?

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.
