This might help a tiny bit. Here are the top undergrad schools whose grads went on to earn a PhD in psychology (the number of future psych PhDs per 1000 overall graduates; psych graduates were not available; this rewards schools with large psych departments). This doesn’t help with schools that send a lot of students on to social work fields, but would capture the research psych career paths. (first posted by interesteddad)
