LAC's have lost a lot of standing over the past 30 years. DCUM won't admit it.

+1.

Very true.

But this list doesn't feel intuitively correct. ASU over West Point and Annapolis for leadership? I don't think so. It must be biased towards the size of the class. Academy grads are generally fast-tracked into leadership positions in corporate, finance, consulting etc.

Same with some of the smaller schools - Rice, Williams, Amherst. Small number of grads. But highly recruited. Though it's true many are more interested in pursuing their passions instead of the C suite - to their credit.

I wonder where UVA would rank without UVA law school included?

The same place Penn would rank without Wharton. Much lower for sure.

DMV is in the east cost. Duke is an easy coast thing by DMV boosters. Duke's not as well known as Harvard, Stanford, or Columbia outside that region.

#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.

Swarthmore to Stanford transfer here. Not surprised at all. Swarthmore kids get lost in the weeds. They become great academics, think tank experts, maybe lawyers and financial analysts, but not great CEOs

Just another area where Duke comes up short. Is this really a top ten school?

In the DMV area, the boosters say so. The rest of the country sees Duke on the level of USC, BU, BC, Northeastern, Vandy, Emory, Rice, WashU... It's still a great school to be in this class.

Why are you obsessed with Northeastern

It's relatively recent that Northeastern has became semi-elite status.
Some basher often say that it was a commuter school 20-30 years ao.
So that's the explanation.

Today it's full of bright motivated independent kids. Many of them have stats for T20sih schools, so give it 10, 20, 30 more years.
It'll probably come close to BU BC Tufts level.
