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.

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…

 

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.
