Analysis of the baccalaureate origins of Sloan fellows in the hard sciences using SAT tiers.
The Sloan Fellowship is a prestigious award for early career STEM scientists at U.S. and Canadian academic institutions. The data set I am using is one I assembled on the Baccalaureate origins of the Sloan Fellows who received their undergraduate education in the U.S., which was approximately 50% of the fellows. The data were collected by looking up the CVs of the fellows, the names of which are posted in the Sloan Foundation press releases. I combined the Bacculaureate origin data with data on the undergraduate institutions from the Scorecard database on U.S. Baccalaureate institutions.
The data were then filtered to only include fellows who received their undergraduate degree in the U.S. and from either a research university or a liberal arts college (LAC). This is important to understand when looking at the results---the liberal arts colleges are being compared to research universities. This filtering only excluded a handful of fellows who received their undergraduate degrees in the U.S.; basically all Sloan fellows received their undergraduate degrees at a research university or liberal arts college.
This is my second attempt at this analysis. In my first attempt, I used the Equality of Opportunity tier groups (e.g. 'Highly selective private') and also tiers based on ACT scores (31, 32, etc). The most important difference is that I used total undergraduate enrollment as the 'size' of the school. I realized that the number of students with high SAT Math scores would be a better 'size' to use. The nature of Sloan Fellowships means that it is unlikely that the awardee would have had an SAT Math score under 700 as an undergraduate. These are people went to graduate school in fields that require quantitative skills. This second analysis uses the number of undergraduates with an SAT Math score between 700-800.
I will be showing a series of barplots where I look at the Sloan production within groups of schools. I am not concerned with individual schools, but rather the production within a whole group of schools.
Summary of the results
Standardizing by the SAT math scores does not completely remove the selectivity effect---the effect that more selective schools have a higher production of future Sloan fellows. However it removes much of the effect.
Four schools have produced the lion's share of the future Sloan fellows: MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton. This is particularly the case in math, physics and economics where 36% of Sloan fellows received their undergraduate degrees from these four schools. In the other fields, 20% received their undergraduate degrees from these schools. Because these groups have an outsized effect on the results for their 'group', I removed them for the rest of the analysis and looked at where the other Sloan fellows received their undergraduate education.
The most striking result with these four outlier institutions removed is that Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) produce an unusually high number of future Sloan fellows given their enrollment size. Approximately 25% of future Sloan fellows in math, physics and economics get their undergraduate degrees at a LAC (8% if we include the four outlier schools). Similarly in the other fields, 25% of future Sloan fellows went to a LAC as an undergraduate (15% if we include the four outlier schools). This is a high percentage if we consider the enrollment size of LACs. LACs have a higher per capita production of future Sloan fellows than the elite private schools (which includes the Ivies minus Harvard and Princeton). Production of future Sloan fellows is not restricted to 'elite' LACs. The mid-tier LACs also have higher production than the elite private schools, which are considerably more selective.
That small Liberal Arts Schools produce unusually high number graduates who go on to get PhDs in STEM is well-known and has been reported in other studies. What my analysis indicates is that this higher than expected production is also seen when we look at a select group of highly productive early-career research scientists in academia. These individuals are many years past their undergraduate education: they have finished a PhD, finished post-doctoral training, gained an academic position, and published ground-breaking research. For those in neuroscience, chemistry, and ocean science, they will have also successfully established a productive research group ('lab') of students and post-doctoral researchers.
The other big take-home is public institutions, even the very selective ones with similar SAT scores as the private schools, have low production of future Sloan fellows in all of the fields. Across the board, Liberals Arts Colleges outproduce on this metric. However, public institutions do outproduce the less selective private research universities across the board. In fact the less selective private research universities by and large do not produce future Sloan fellows.
Carnegie School Classifications
This analysis focuses on comparting Liberal Arts colleges to research universities. The idea is to examine whether there is a difference in the production of future Sloan Fellows based on the type of institution (research university versus undergraduate institution).
I used these Carnegie Classifications
- 15 = Doctoral Universities: Highest Research Activity
- 16 = Doctoral Universities: Higher Research Activity
- 18 = Master's Colleges & Universities: Larger Programs
- 21 = Baccalaureate Colleges: Arts & Sciences Focus
I labelled each institution by type: Liberal Arts colleges, technical research universities, and research universities but not a technical institute. The research universities were further separated into public and private, but the technical institutes were not. Only private Liberal Arts colleges were included in the analysis as there were too few public Liberal Arts colleges with data.
SAT Math Score Bands
I divided schools into three SAT Math score bands based on the upper 75% math scores.
- sat1: SAT Math upper 75% 760-800
- sat2: SAT Math upper 75% 690-759
- sat3: SAT Math upper 75% 640-689
Some Liberal Arts colleges were missing SAT data in the Scorecard database and I filled those in from www.collegedata.com.
Tier Groups
I created 'tiers' based on the Carnegie Classifications and the SAT Math bands.
- T1, T2, T3: technical institutes in the SAT1, SAT2, and SAT3 bands
- Pr1, Pr2, Pr3: private research universities in the 3 SAT bands
- Pu1, Pu2, Pu3: public research universities in the 3 SAT bands
- L1, L2, L3: Liberal Arts colleges in the 3 SAT bands
Number of undergraduates with SAT Math 700-800
The number of undergraduates with SAT Math 700-800 ('Size') was estimated by multiplying the total undergraduate enrollment ('Tot.Size') by the fraction of incoming freshman with SAT Math scores between 700-800 ('SAT.700.800').
| | Size| Tot.Size| SAT.700.800|
|---------------------------------|-----:|---------:|------------:|
| brandeis university | 2129| 3715| 0.57|
| case western reserve university | 2662| 4807| 0.55|
| dartmouth college | 2703| 4184| 0.65|
| rice university | 3112| 3888| 0.80|
| tufts university | 3250| 5143| 0.63|
When I compute the per-capita rate of Sloan Fellow production, I will be dividing the number of Fellows by the 'Size' column. This is to attempt to compare 'apples to apples'. Yes, more Sloan Fellows attended Princeton as undergraduates. Is this something about Princeton, or simply that Princeton has an unusually high fraction of undergraduates who are strong academically, esp. in math.
Bacculareate origin of Math, Physics and Economics Sloan Fellows
The number of undergraduates (in thousands) in each bar is shown in parentheses below the number of Sloan Fellows. The bottom bar plot shows the per capita production of future Sloan Fellows.
The T1 and Pr1 groups are dominated by a handful of institutions
The T1 and Pr1 groups have the highest per-capita production of future Sloan Fellows, but these groups are dominated by a few institutions, namely MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton. These four institutions produce 35.8 percent of the future Sloan fellows in math, physics and economics.
Math, Physics and Economics future Sloan Fellows with MIT, Caltech, Harvard and Princeton removed
What about the other 64.2 percent of Sloan fellows? To look at this, I remove MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton. With these four outlier schools removed, the Liberal Arts colleges have the highest per-capita production in all SAT Math bands compared to research universities (private or public) in the same SAT Math band.
Neuroscience, Chemistry, Computational Biology and Ocean Science future Sloan Fellows
This shows the same bar-plot for Neuroscience, Chemistry, and Ocean Sciences. The number of undergraduates (n in thousands) and number of institutions (i) is shown below the number of Sloan Fellows for each bar.
Again the majority of Sloan Fellows come from the same four schools
MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton produce 21.5 percent of the future Sloan fellows in neuroscience, chemistry, computational biology and ocean science.
To an extent this is true for the Liberal Arts Colleges also
However the sample sizes are small (only 13 fellows in the L1 group on the left), and the difference between 2 versus 3 Sloan Fellows looks large in the pie but can occur due the chance. Williams and Swarthmore are schools which one would expect to have more Sloan Fellows, but one would also expect Amherst and Bowdoin to be similarly high.
Neuroscience, Chemistry, Computational Biology and Ocean Sciences future Sloan Fellows with MIT, Caltech, Harvard and Princeton removed
With these 4 schools removed, the Liberal Arts colleges have the highest per-capita production in all SAT Math bands.
Data
Math and Physics
This shows the institutions in each group along with the number of Sloan Fellows. I've added the SAT Math upper 75% score for each school. The Tot.Size is the undergraduate enrollment and 'Size' is the estimated number of undergraduates with an SAT score of 700-800.

Analysis of the baccalaureate origins of Sloan fellows in the hard sciences using SAT tiers.
The Sloan Fellowship is a prestigious award for early career STEM scientists at U.S. and Canadian academic institutions. The data set I am using is one I assembled on the Baccalaureate origins of the Sloan Fellows who received their undergraduate education in the U.S., which was approximately 50% of the fellows. The data were collected by looking up the CVs of the fellows, the names of which are posted in the Sloan Foundation press releases. I combined the Bacculaureate origin data with data on the undergraduate institutions from the Scorecard database on U.S. Baccalaureate institutions.
The data were then filtered to only include fellows who received their undergraduate degree in the U.S. and from either a research university or a liberal arts college (LAC). This is important to understand when looking at the results---the liberal arts colleges are being compared to research universities. This filtering only excluded a handful of fellows who received their undergraduate degrees in the U.S.; basically all Sloan fellows received their undergraduate degrees at a research university or liberal arts college.
This is my second attempt at this analysis. In my first attempt, I used the Equality of Opportunity tier groups (e.g. 'Highly selective private') and also tiers based on ACT scores (31, 32, etc). The most important difference is that I used total undergraduate enrollment as the 'size' of the school. I realized that the number of students with high SAT Math scores would be a better 'size' to use. The nature of Sloan Fellowships means that it is unlikely that the awardee would have had an SAT Math score under 700 as an undergraduate. These are people went to graduate school in fields that require quantitative skills. This second analysis uses the number of undergraduates with an SAT Math score between 700-800.
I will be showing a series of barplots where I look at the Sloan production within groups of schools. I am not concerned with individual schools, but rather the production within a whole group of schools.
Summary of the results
Standardizing by the SAT math scores does not completely remove the selectivity effect---the effect that more selective schools have a higher production of future Sloan fellows. However it removes much of the effect.
Four schools have produced the lion's share of the future Sloan fellows: MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton. This is particularly the case in math, physics and economics where 36% of Sloan fellows received their undergraduate degrees from these four schools. In the other fields, 20% received their undergraduate degrees from these schools. Because these groups have an outsized effect on the results for their 'group', I removed them for the rest of the analysis and looked at where the other Sloan fellows received their undergraduate education.
The most striking result with these four outlier institutions removed is that Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) produce an unusually high number of future Sloan fellows given their enrollment size. Approximately 25% of future Sloan fellows in math, physics and economics get their undergraduate degrees at a LAC (8% if we include the four outlier schools). Similarly in the other fields, 25% of future Sloan fellows went to a LAC as an undergraduate (15% if we include the four outlier schools). This is a high percentage if we consider the enrollment size of LACs. LACs have a higher per capita production of future Sloan fellows than the elite private schools (which includes the Ivies minus Harvard and Princeton). Production of future Sloan fellows is not restricted to 'elite' LACs. The mid-tier LACs also have higher production than the elite private schools, which are considerably more selective.
That small Liberal Arts Schools produce unusually high number graduates who go on to get PhDs in STEM is well-known and has been reported in other studies. What my analysis indicates is that this higher than expected production is also seen when we look at a select group of highly productive early-career research scientists in academia. These individuals are many years past their undergraduate education: they have finished a PhD, finished post-doctoral training, gained an academic position, and published ground-breaking research. For those in neuroscience, chemistry, and ocean science, they will have also successfully established a productive research group ('lab') of students and post-doctoral researchers.
The other big take-home is public institutions, even the very selective ones with similar SAT scores as the private schools, have low production of future Sloan fellows in all of the fields. Across the board, Liberals Arts Colleges outproduce on this metric. However, public institutions do outproduce the less selective private research universities across the board. In fact the less selective private research universities by and large do not produce future Sloan fellows.
Carnegie School Classifications
This analysis focuses on comparting Liberal Arts colleges to research universities. The idea is to examine whether there is a difference in the production of future Sloan Fellows based on the type of institution (research university versus undergraduate institution).
I used these Carnegie Classifications
- 15 = Doctoral Universities: Highest Research Activity
- 16 = Doctoral Universities: Higher Research Activity
- 18 = Master's Colleges & Universities: Larger Programs
- 21 = Baccalaureate Colleges: Arts & Sciences Focus
I labelled each institution by type: Liberal Arts colleges, technical research universities, and research universities but not a technical institute. The research universities were further separated into public and private, but the technical institutes were not. Only private Liberal Arts colleges were included in the analysis as there were too few public Liberal Arts colleges with data.
SAT Math Score Bands
I divided schools into three SAT Math score bands based on the upper 75% math scores.
- sat1: SAT Math upper 75% 760-800
- sat2: SAT Math upper 75% 690-759
- sat3: SAT Math upper 75% 640-689
Some Liberal Arts colleges were missing SAT data in the Scorecard database and I filled those in from www.collegedata.com.
Tier Groups
I created 'tiers' based on the Carnegie Classifications and the SAT Math bands.
- T1, T2, T3: technical institutes in the SAT1, SAT2, and SAT3 bands
- Pr1, Pr2, Pr3: private research universities in the 3 SAT bands
- Pu1, Pu2, Pu3: public research universities in the 3 SAT bands
- L1, L2, L3: Liberal Arts colleges in the 3 SAT bands
Number of undergraduates with SAT Math 700-800
The number of undergraduates with SAT Math 700-800 ('Size') was estimated by multiplying the total undergraduate enrollment ('Tot.Size') by the fraction of incoming freshman with SAT Math scores between 700-800 ('SAT.700.800').
| | Size| Tot.Size| SAT.700.800| |---------------------------------|-----:|---------:|------------:| | brandeis university | 2129| 3715| 0.57| | case western reserve university | 2662| 4807| 0.55| | dartmouth college | 2703| 4184| 0.65| | rice university | 3112| 3888| 0.80| | tufts university | 3250| 5143| 0.63|
When I compute the per-capita rate of Sloan Fellow production, I will be dividing the number of Fellows by the 'Size' column. This is to attempt to compare 'apples to apples'. Yes, more Sloan Fellows attended Princeton as undergraduates. Is this something about Princeton, or simply that Princeton has an unusually high fraction of undergraduates who are strong academically, esp. in math.
Bacculareate origin of Math, Physics and Economics Sloan Fellows
The number of undergraduates (in thousands) in each bar is shown in parentheses below the number of Sloan Fellows. The bottom bar plot shows the per capita production of future Sloan Fellows.
The T1 and Pr1 groups are dominated by a handful of institutions
The T1 and Pr1 groups have the highest per-capita production of future Sloan Fellows, but these groups are dominated by a few institutions, namely MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton. These four institutions produce 35.8 percent of the future Sloan fellows in math, physics and economics.
Math, Physics and Economics future Sloan Fellows with MIT, Caltech, Harvard and Princeton removed
What about the other 64.2 percent of Sloan fellows? To look at this, I remove MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton. With these four outlier schools removed, the Liberal Arts colleges have the highest per-capita production in all SAT Math bands compared to research universities (private or public) in the same SAT Math band.
Neuroscience, Chemistry, Computational Biology and Ocean Science future Sloan Fellows
This shows the same bar-plot for Neuroscience, Chemistry, and Ocean Sciences. The number of undergraduates (n in thousands) and number of institutions (i) is shown below the number of Sloan Fellows for each bar.
Again the majority of Sloan Fellows come from the same four schools
MIT, CalTech, Harvard and Princeton produce 21.5 percent of the future Sloan fellows in neuroscience, chemistry, computational biology and ocean science.
To an extent this is true for the Liberal Arts Colleges also
However the sample sizes are small (only 13 fellows in the L1 group on the left), and the difference between 2 versus 3 Sloan Fellows looks large in the pie but can occur due the chance. Williams and Swarthmore are schools which one would expect to have more Sloan Fellows, but one would also expect Amherst and Bowdoin to be similarly high.
Neuroscience, Chemistry, Computational Biology and Ocean Sciences future Sloan Fellows with MIT, Caltech, Harvard and Princeton removed
With these 4 schools removed, the Liberal Arts colleges have the highest per-capita production in all SAT Math bands.
Data
Math and Physics
This shows the institutions in each group along with the number of Sloan Fellows. I've added the SAT Math upper 75% score for each school. The Tot.Size is the undergraduate enrollment and 'Size' is the estimated number of undergraduates with an SAT score of 700-800.
