– crazy high, or crazy low? (that is, that 40% of Ivy alumni ultimately get a JD, MBA, or MD degree)

Why are you grouping MBAs with JDs and MDs? You’re comparing a Master’s degree to Doctoral degrees. It is much more difficult to earn the latter two than the former. Worse than that, a Master’s in Business Administration is literally the least prestigious Master’s possible. ITT Tech offers MBAs. </p>

<p>Your 40% holds little significance if it were to include them.</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.

Why all the math? According to Wikipedia, UCLA has 11548 postgraduates and 38476 students. That’s 30%.</p>

<p>The problem, however, is that its a mistake to assume all UCLA undergrads go on to UCLA grad school. The fact is the matter is that most don’t. There are far fewer grad schools out there than undergrad schools. Many students from colleges or universities who don’t offer a graduate degree in their field are forced to come to UCLA (or a small pool of other large universities).</p>
