Finally some good DMV (and GU) pride! Someone compiled the undergraduate schools of the leadership at what many consider the 15 top America-based private equity firms: Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global Management, Carlyle Group, Neuberger Berman, Bain Capital, Ares Management, Oaktree Capital, TPG, Silver Lake, Vista Equity, Warburg Pincus, Thoma Bravo, Hellman & Friedman, and Advent International. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many Georgetown alumni are at the top ranks of these elite cos. Hoya Saxa!

Wow that's a job well done. And Georgetown has always been great for finance, this is really impressive for them though. It's one of my kid's top choices -- will show him this |

I didn't make this myself but thank you, agreed it's pretty cool to see!! And yes I hope your son gets in, I have (mostly) great things to say about my time at Georgetown. If only the dorms and facilities were nicer ~ |

| Do you have a link for where this came from? Just glancing at it, there is some info that is missing/inaccurate. For example, one of the founding Ks in KKR (Jerome Kohlberg) went to Swarthmore. |

| It might be helpful to know their grad schools too if the OP has it. |

It looks like this only considers active members of each company. Jerome Kohlberg passed away in 2015 unfortunately. |

| I wouldn’t consider PE hiring to be good news, thank you for pursuing this data anyway. |

Not to worry. Yale is crawling with students headed this way. They are everywhere. Not sure what is so appealing. |

It's not the only way these schools are destroying this country. The top 5 private equity schools are UPenn, Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke. We have Trump from UPenn, his right hand man Stephen Miller from Duke, his amazing guide through COVID as US Health Secretary Alex Azar from Dartmouth, and his lovely son in law Jared from Harvard. And likely others in that circle from Georgetown and Stanford. Coincidence? The same schools that churn out these PE businessmen churn out the top politicians that ruin the country. |
