<p>Hekau - Thanks so much! I don’t think Chicago students can copy the sheets, but if your son could just get a sense of the raw numbers of Chicago grads at top schools, that’d be great. To put this roughly in perspective, this would be what I would consider a pretty good showing at Chicago (with the numbers of the peer schools in mind). These are what I hope would be the actual number of students that MATRICULATE at each of these schools: </p>
<p>Yale: 3-4 students per year
Harvard: 7-10 students per year</p>
<p>Columbia: 8-10 students per year
NYU: 8-10 students per year
Chicago: 15-20 students per year</p>
<p>Penn: 5-8 students per year
Michigan: 8-12 students per year
Northwestern: 8-12 students per year
Duke: 4-6 students per year</p>
<p>These raw numbers are where Chicago should be to compete favorably against Penn and Cornell. I’m also adjusting the numbers a bit to reflect more of a midwest bias (and therefore more representation at Northwestern or Michigan in comparison to Chicago’s east coast peer colleges). Furthermore, just like with top undergrads and their top law school counterparts, I’m hoping for a good deal of “Chicago incest” (i.e. lots of U of C undergrads represented at Chicago Law). I’m not expecting Yale-like placement here, but I’d hope that recently, Chicago has gotten in line with some of its “lower” peers such as UPenn or Cornell.</p>
