<p>A long time ago, an LAC advocate posted a per capita table like this for engineering only. Then he immediately pulled it. Because, lo and behold, a bunch of schools of not that high repute but with the word “tech” in their name appeared higher in that ranking than places like Stanford. Even the most cursory analysis would indicate that this had something to do with the fact that those schools offered very little but engineering, whereas Stanford grads pursued a wider range of majors and were offered a wide range of other opportunities. Stanford engineers who want it are not impeded from pursuing a Phd in engineering merely because lots of other people who are also studying there want to go to law school, and also employers are throwing lucrative tech startup jobs at them.</p>
