<p>^ DadOfB&G, you mean the list in post #21, right? If so, I’m not sure I get it, either.</p>
<p>For example, take the first line:</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Does this mean that 28.24% of all CalTech graduates went on to earn a Ph.D. in some science field at a leading university, within some time period after college graduation in a certain year? What’s the source of this information? What does “science” include?</p>
<p>For the big picture of “Ph.D. productivity” by baccalaureate origins, I’ve been referring to the HEDS study findings as summarized on the Reed College site:
[REED</a> COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html]REED”>Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
<p>I take it the major difference between the HEDS approach and the one cellardwellar cites is that, in the latter, only Ph.D.s granted by certain universities are tracked (schools with 10 or more NRC top-10s).</p>
