+1 how absurd. Not aligned with Jesuit principles at all.

Georgetown is an extremely diverse place with people of all beliefs, the school may be Jesuit but the student body feels like any other top school. Either way, who cares if Georgetown is Jesuit? Notre Dame is arguably the bastion of Catholic education in America and many of its alumni-base is teeming with immoral figures. And Duke is basically a methodist version of Harvard, they produce financiers and CEOs in droves, but does anyone complain about that? Seems odd to single out Georgetown.

This. A few steps typically made between undergrad and private equity, including an investment bank or two and a MBA or other graduate degree.

Exactly. The majority of these finance bigwigs are coming from freaking Penn, Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke - they're bound to have ambition. The premier institutions have the best students, and ambitions vary all over the place - what I bet is that most of the people on this list would've graduated magna or summa cum laude while maintaining a decent social life. No need to take away from their achievements.

I have not seen this list before, interesting, and to me the school that is truly impressive is Dartmouth. It's smaller than the other Ivies, yet comes up tops consistently in many lists.

Dartmouth is phenomenal for finance, similar to Williams which is called the "West Point of Wall Street." I'm also very impressed by Stanford and Duke, Stanford has more of a tech reputation but still does very well in top finance positions, and some people here seem to hate Duke but I can't argue with the results, it's an uber elite school.

Georgetown is not an extremely diverse place, for one.

For two, Georgetown itself makes a big stink over its Jesuit identity, men and women for others, etc. So bragging about this feels very out of line with what the school pretends are its values.

Lastly, I think many of the decisions Notre Dame has made are not in aligned with Catholic values but this thread is about Georgetown.

+1 These schools have for long turned their backs on their founding values

This. Seems like a badge of shame to me.

I think it shows which colleges attract the most slimes.
