We've heard a lot about career advancement and professional school (law, business, medicine) following graduation from UChicago, but my daughter (who just joined the class of '21) is also interested in the prospect of an academic career. I am very interested in the following statement I found on the college admissions website:
"Many students look to further their education by attending graduate school. University of Chicago undergraduates find tremendous success in applying to and succeeding in top master’s and PhD programs around the world. Within five years of graduation, UChicago students rank among the highest choosing to advance their education even further. With numbers ranking higher than any other university college, fifteen to twenty percent of undergraduates will go on to earn PhDs!"

So it's sounds like UChicago considers itself to be the #1-ranked PhD feeder school, and I've certainly heard that before. Does the College provide any detail behind that statement? Looking for specific numbers, schools attended, what type of academic program, etc. To us this is an important metric, but I can't find current data on the internet nor on the college website specifically, though perhaps my Google skills are poor.
So if anyone can provide information or a link, please post here! Thanks a million!
