<p>MikeyD: From the WSJ article:</p>
<p>“We focused on 15 elite schools, five each from medicine, law and business, to serve as our benchmark for profiling where the students came from. Opinions vary, of course, but our list reflects a consensus of grad-school deans we interviewed, top recruiters and published grad-school rankings (including the Journal’s own MBA rankings). So for medicine, our schools were Columbia; Harvard; Johns Hopkins; the University of California, San Francisco; and Yale, while our MBA programs were Chicago; Dartmouth’s Tuck School; Harvard; MIT’s Sloan School; and Penn’s Wharton School. In law, we looked at Chicago; Columbia; Harvard; Michigan; and Yale.”</p>

<p>I’m always happy to see positive news about Williams, but I thought this study was as useless as that business publication that rates high schools based on the percentage of their graduating classes who go to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. As if all the others are chopped liver. And Mini’s link makes the other point, about all the great graduate work going on outside of the professional schools.</p>
