– crazy high, or crazy low? (that is, that 40% of Ivy alumni ultimately get a JD, MBA, or MD degree)</p>
<p>I did some quick math on UCLA’s graduating classes for Medicine (400), Business (360), and Law (320), compared to the Undergraduate graduating class (6000). At UCLA anyway, the professional degree graduating classes are at about 18% of the undergrad graduating classes.</p>
<p>For toast eater to write that 70% of Ivy grads end up with one of these three Professional degrees just struck me as hyper inflated and based on… what?</p>
<p>Now that I’m rethinking this, I would downgrade my initial guess and now educatedly guess that about 25-30% of Ivy grads attain one of these three degrees – a significant difference from the 70% that toast eater posted so authoritatively.</p>
