Population Percentages and Grad School

« on: March 04, 2007, 09:09:39 PM »

Anyone know? Where could I look to find some very basic stats on the percentage of the population who:

- Finish high school
- Enter but do not complete undergrad program
- Complete undergrad
- Enter but do not complete graduate program
- Receive a PhD ?
