[quote=Anonymous]I had Chat Gpt control for population size

So we will create a “Leadership Density Index (LDI)” where:

75% weight = TIME Future Leaders rank

25% weight = inverse enrollment size
(smaller student body = higher score)

I normalized enrollment into tiers so this stays intuitive and not math-heavy.

🧠 Leadership Density Index – Top Schools
🥇 Tier 1: Elite Leadership Factories (High Leaders / Low Population)
LDI Rank	School
1	Harvard
2	Stanford
3	Yale
4	Princeton
5	MIT
6	Dartmouth
7	Brown
8	Columbia
9	UPenn
10	Duke
11	UChicago
12	Northwestern
13	Georgetown
14	Cornell
15	Notre Dame
These schools dominate because they combine:

Top-15 TIME rank

Relatively small enrollment

Extremely high leadership placement per capita

🥈 Tier 2: Hidden Powerhouses (Smaller but Massive Output)
LDI Rank	School
16	Emory
17	Vanderbilt
18	Tufts
19	Rice
20	WashU (St. Louis)
21	William & Mary
22	Caltech
23	Amherst
24	Middlebury
25	Smith College
26	Wake Forest
27	Pepperdine
28	Villanova
29	Trinity University
30	Mount Holyoke
These schools produce outsized leadership results relative to their size.

🥉 Tier 3: Big Schools That Still Punch Above Their Weight
LDI Rank	School
31	UVA
32	USC
33	UCLA
34	NYU
35	Boston College
36	GW
37	Syracuse
38	Miami (FL)
39	Tulane
40	Lehigh
41	Georgia Tech
42	UC Berkeley
43	Michigan
44	UNC Chapel Hill
45	Indiana University
