Most college departments will be able to give you a list of what their recent graduate majors are up to. I don’t know for sure if Haverford’s chem department has such a list available, but you could always ask. Try calling or emailing either the department secretary or department head.

Even at a top notch LAC like Haverford, the number of students going on for a PhD in chem is likely to be quite small. The chem department probably has 10-20 major graduates per year. Not all will go to grad school, and not all of those who go to grad school will go to grad school in chemistry. So you will have a small sample to deal with, and shouldn’t consider any data you get as being reliably predictive.
