Keep in mind that these lists are ranked by raw numbers, not percentages. BYU will show well partly as a result of having a large student body, although that alone certainly would not explain it all.

I am not trying to pick on Solon here. Solon is great. I just thought it was an interesting result and confirmed my understanding that BYU undergrads are highly sought after by graduate schools.
Even the great Solon, one of the Seven Sages, is blinded by his Utah upbringing which leads him to believe that all things BYU are bad. It is an interesting study.
