Universities · US and overseas
Where do leavers go beyond the UK?
A list of famous university names leaves a fair bit unanswered. We have US or overseas records for 18 of the 19 schools; 12 have some figures counting where leavers went. Elsewhere, we have offers or acceptances, approximate figures, names without numbers, or figures whose meaning is unclear. The table shows which is which.

“Unclear what it counts” means the source doesn’t distinguish offers, acceptances and places. A university named without a number could mean one pupil or many. “No US or overseas record found” means we haven’t found one; the school may still have published something.
Shared years
Schools with records for the same years
These schools report the same stage of the university journey in the same years. That gives you a place to start reading them side by side. Check how much each list covers, though: a few examples and a complete list of leavers cannot fairly be compared as totals.

Read beyond the university names
One school lists every university its leavers went to. Another gives a US total. A third names a few examples. Each tells you something, but they won’t make a fair ranking: the years and pupils covered differ. Follow an interesting name back to the source, and check whether it means an offer or a place actually taken.
