<p>Well, for fun I looked at Michigan. They don’t give complete listings, but for the past 10 years they give every college with more than 3 or 4 people in the entering class (depending on the year). Apart from Michigan itself, Harvard is the clear pace-setter with 81 (it’s listed every year). Stanford has at least 48, probably a few more (it’s only listed in 7 of 10 years); Duke 38-45; Johns Hopkins 25-38. Chicago made the list only one year – 2002 – with three students. The maximum number of students it could have sent would have been 27, but it’s likely to be something less than that, maybe a lot less. </p>
<p>Hmmm.</p>
<p>When my daughter was deciding where to go to college, a neighbor on his medical school’s admissions committee told her, “When it comes time to apply to graduate school, the University of Chicago really means something.” Apparently not as much as he thought.</p>
