<p>Every school has an equal number of graduates as they have alumni from each year. So, while Haverford has fewer alumni then say big unis, they also have only 300 graduates to serve each year - many of whom go to grad school. The issue that worries some is name recognition, but that is less so an issue in academic and professional circles for Haverford… Here is a related CC thread <a href=“Haverford's Reputation? - Haverford College - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/haverford-college/1405695-haverfords-reputation.html</a></p>
<p>And have a look at this great graph in the Washington Post (9/11/2014), Haverford ranks very high on salary growth and is right next to Yale in mid-career salaries. <a href=“http://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2014/09/salary-growth.png”>http://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2014/09/salary-growth.png</a> I’m sure some of the data will change on this year after year, but even if it’s a little off, Haverford is still in good company.</p>
