Reed is #2 in the country for the number of graduates who go on to earn PhDs.

It's a more prestigious school than their USNWR ranking would indicate. Reed refuses to fill out the USNWR yearly survey, and is ranked lower because of it.

And Steve Jobs went there, but he dropped out.

It would be better to norm "getting a PhD" by undergrad department. Ivy league stem graduates often go straight to work because their salaries are basically as high as a phd

Anyone getting a PhD to increase their salary is probably making a big mistake.

Cal Tech must be #1, yes? Thanks for explaining the disjunction between their reputation and rank.
