Okay. It wasnât a bad attempt - I understood most of the sentence I just didnât understand âdestinationâ. I would say âThe majority of graduate students from both categories chose to enter a higher academic program. â or âThe major destination for graduate students from both categories was a higher academic program.â ^^

Majority means âmost of/ the largest number â. Major means âmost important/mainâ
That sentence is a bit hard to understand ^^ could you write it differently?

@T___ Thank you! I was trying to describe some data in a chart that has two categories of students. One is "people graduated from undergraduate degree", another is "people graduated from postgraduate degree" and they both coincidentally have a feature of having the most number of people chose to pursue a higher degree after their graduation.>_< I tried my best,haha
