How do they “produce” them? Do they accept some 1000 SAT and 2.5 GPA kids from poor families and make them successful and wealthy?

The “surprises” being UT, Boston U & U Miami? At least for UM, they started wealthy.

UT Austin, Michigan, UVA, Miami and Boston are surprises to me. And NYU being so high is also a bit unexpected, though not entirely surprising.

I think "the future of the 1%" may look quite a bit different in 20 years so I'm not taking much stock in this list or the message it's sending.

Sounds about right. Many of these grads came from umc, privileged backgrounds with access to opportunities .. and some of these schools have strong networks that breed loyalty and further expand those opportunities.

I think some of these grads come from 1% families in the first place though, so...not sure how helpful the list really is just like this.
