Methodology: Fifteen graduate schools, 5 from each of the programs in medicine, law and business, were selected as the "best" graduate schools by consensus of grad-school deans and top-recruiters combined with published graduate school rankings. These graduate schools were monitored to see where the 5,100 incoming graduate students obtained their undergraduate degrees, factoring in the size of the undergraduate institution in the overall "feeder score."
