Top Feeder Rankings (From Publication)
Per the site College Transitions, they have a page on "Top Feeder Rankings (adjusted for undergraduate enrollment)."
I would argue that the adjustment is necessary, as 50 kids from a 1,000 person liberal arts college going to Harvard is much more impressive than 50 kids from a 40,000 person public university. The ranking seems to line up with a former WSJ "Top Feeder Schools" ranking. No surprise to see the same old suspects (Ivy League, NESCAC, etc.). I think the average person might be surprised that small LACs lead to great outcomes as well.
#1 Dartmouth
#2 University of Chicago
#3 Claremont McKenna College
#4 Yale
#5 Williams College
#6 Harvard
#7 Northwestern
#8 Stanford
#9 Duke
#10 Amherst College
#11 Middlebury
#12 Brown
#13 Princeton
#14 Wellesley College
#15 UPenn
#16 Colgate
#17 Swarthmore
#18 Rice
#19 Bowdoin
#20 Cornell
The list goes on to 30 or so schools. Vandy, Tufts, Columbia, Wesleyan, W&L, Colby, Bates all make it later.
If you're interested in the adjusted rankings (adjusted for school size), I found the most recent version of College Transition's book online.

What does it mean to be a feeder school in this context?
Feeder for IB specifically? If so, that doesn’t seem right as we had more kids go straight to the buy-side than IB recently, coming from Dartmouth. This doesn’t even include the hordes of kids choosing tech or MBB consulting over IB either…
This has nothing to do with IB. I suggest using this site called Google to search.
FYI this is feeder to top MBA programs.
To be honest, for B-school admissions, this data is extremely backwards-looking. I'd rather look at HBS or GSB class of 2023 MBA and divide by class size, or do this for the past couple of years, rather than do it for the decades this book does it for.
