<p>Thanks for the link, and that actually feeds my earlier point. Until seeing the stats you posted, I just ballparked the figure at 25%, mainly because getting a PhD seemed to be on EVERYONE’s mind at UChicago in the 90s. The fact that the actual number is only 15% (not that different from Yale and Harvard) shows just how amplified the “intellectual” voice on campus was when I was at UChicago. </p>
<p>I wonder if there are any voices like that on Penn’s campus. I always thought Yale had a bit of an amplified law school craving voice, but then it turns out that a ton of yale grads actually go on to law school. </p>
<p>I’m also curious to note if Penn’s PhD production has increased since the 90s. 6.5% in the 90s seems lower than I’d have thought prior to seeing the stats.</p>
