From Reed College’s website [REED COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY](Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College) here is a list of schools that produce the highest proportion of graduates that go on to earn phds in various disciplines.

For Anthropology the list is:

Bryn Mawr, Beloit, Grinnell, Reed, Univ. of Chicago, Pomona, Wesleyan, Marlboro, Haverford, and Harvard.

My son is also interested in Anthropology and he’s applying Beloit which has a middle 50% of admits with an ACT scores between 24-30. He’s also applying to College of Wooster and Kalamazoo College, both of which are a bit more selective. Also the U. of Michigan has a well regarded Anthro department, their ACT mid range for admits in 27-31.

Despite being a small liberal arts school (1,325 students) Beloit has its own Anthropology Museum (Logan).

Hope this helps.
