Why these extra schools to show? Are you skipping the ones you think are less selective/prestigious? The reason I raise is that the ones you skip are great options for those who may not have the most perfect HS resume but still have a bright future ahead of them. Miami University (35), Iowa State (38), Syracuse (43), University of Alabama (45), LSU (58)....

Roll Tide!

Is this accurate? If so, much more impressive.

JMU isn't on the list? Shocking...

JMU is listed at #98 with a rating of 81. (Not sure if JMU is tied at #37 as all schools ranked from 31 to 100 all scored the same = 81.)

Further confirming the prestige of a UVA degree at such a reasonable in state price. Man, I am so happy with my kids’ choice!

If you're figuring in CEOs (of which there are a lot more than Nobel prize winners and the like so it likely heavily tilts towards these kinds of thing), schools that don't have a business aim aren't going to have as many "leaders."

Engineering and educating rich Texans who then go on to stay rich Texans

Bullshit. I know a ton of Rice grads in DC with very interesting non-stem jobs. You are flat wrong.

LACs that made the list all scored 81 :

#44 USMA at West Point

#77 Middlebury College

#82 USNA-Annapolis

#89 Claremont McKenna College

#92 Amherst College

#93 Davidson College

#95 Mount Holyoke College

#97 Smith College

#99 Colgate University

Surprised that these schools did not make the list:

Williams College, Wellesley College, Swarthmore, Pomona, Bowdoin, Wash & Lee, USAFA (often move into consulting positions) & Carleton College.

The list includes "politicians, CEOs, union leaders, Nobel winners, and more across [various] sectors...."[b]

Wish that the bolded was more specific.

This index is too "corporate and business oriented" (politicians and CEOs--why are they the bastion of leadership??). And how many people win nobel prizes each year--a tiny number: these are too esoteric to be useful as an indicator of "leadership". They need to include thought leaders in public policy, health, media, law, academia, literature, arts, and so on.

Those ppl aren’t really leaders. They are subject matter experts…not leading much.

Nonsense--these people are leaders. For one, they determine what you read, what you wear, what you eat, and importantly, whether your student gets accepted to a top school!

But Middlebury and Amherst made the list
