The Sloan Fellowship is a prestigious award for early career scientists at U.S. and Canadian academic institutions. Each year 126 scientists are recognized. From the Sloan Fellowship website: “These 126 early-career scholars represent the most promising scientific researchers working today. Their achievements and potential place them among the next generation of scientific leaders in the U.S. and Canada.” Forty-three Sloan Fellows have gone on to win a Nobel Prize and 16 have won the Fields Medal in mathematics.

I looked up the resumes for Sloan Fellowship winners from 2017-2008 in Math, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Neuroscience, Computational Biology and Ocean Sciences. I noted the school where the awardee got their undergraduate degree. Here I analyze the patterns of the undergraduate institutions of those awardees who received their undergraduate degree in the United States (about 50% of awardees).

The SAT and undergraduate enrollment data are from the Scorecard database on U.S. Baccalaureate institutions. Some Liberal Arts colleges were missing data and I filled these in from CollegeData.

This is my second attempt at this analysis. My first attempt is Baccalaureate Origins of Sloan Fellows: Liberal Arts Colleges Versus Research Universities. 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.

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% 770-800
• sat2: SAT Math upper 75% 720-769
• sat3: SAT Math upper 75% 640-719

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
lehigh university	2247	5034	0.45
case western reserve university	2662	4807	0.55
dartmouth college	2703	4184	0.65
rice university	3112	3888	0.80

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 and Physics 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.

Math and Physics 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 compared to research universities (private or public) in the same SAT Math band.

The Data

This shows the institutions in each group along with the number of Sloan Fellows in Math, Physics and Economics. I’ve added the SAT Math upper 75% score for each school and the 6-yr graduation rates.

Neuroscience, Chemistry, Computational Biology and Ocean Sciences 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 a few schools

To an extent this is true for the Liberal Arts Colleges also

However the sample sizes are small, and the difference between 2 versus 3 Sloan Fellows looks large in the pie but can occur due the chance. That Williams, Swarthmore and Middlebury are schools which one would expect to have more Sloan Fellows, but one would also expect Amherst and Bowdoin to be similar.

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.

The data

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 and the 6-yr graduation rates.

The public institutions are being penalized for low grad rates

In my per-capita calculations, I divide by the number of undergraduates. However the public institutions have lower 6-year graduations rates, so I am inflating the size of the undergraduate pool by dividing by the number of undergraduates. I need to somehow adjust for lower graduation rates. Ideally, I would use the number of degrees awarded each year or number awarded in a 5-year period.

Math and Physics future Sloan Fellows SAT 750-800

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 (per 1000 of undergraduates) production of future Sloan Fellows. The y-axis has been capped at 0.8; note that the per capita for the “T1” group (technical institutes in the highest ACT band) is much higher than 0.8.
