<p>When looking at another college website, [College</a> Admissions, Search, and Financial Aid Help from College Confidential](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com%5DCollege”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com), there are stats posted for “Graduate Paths”, the percent of students that go to law, medical and other grad school. Many schools do not publish these stats, but of the ones that do, I wonder how much reliability there is in the numbers. For instance: Cornell: % grads going to law school = 4%, % going to medical school = 4%. Carlton College: % law school = 3%, % med school = 4%. Bryn Mawr: % law school = 3%, medical school = 2%. Then lets look at Wooster. % law school = 12%, % med school = 10%. That’s quite a difference. So Wooster really sends that many more students to law and medical school? Does anyone know how these numbers are determined? Thanks</p>
<p>More Wooster students may go on to higher education simply because the school isn’t as good as the others you listed. Students often go to grad school if they can’t get a jobl.</p>
<p>So getting into law school and medical school must be pretty easy then? Especially after attending a not so good school?</p>
<p>Not necessarily, but again it depends on the school. It’s certainly easier to get into… Pitt’s Law School than it is Harvard’s. Not that Pitt’s is bad, but it’s obviously no Harvard.</p>
<p>Anyway, I never said Wooster was a bad school. I honestly don’t know much about it. But it’s typical for students to go to grad school if they can’t get a job; that’s why a lot of people are going back to school during this recession.</p>
<p>Just food for thought.</p>
