[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]TJ places well every year. It's really remarkable that they haven't produced more notable alums. Has anyone looked into why there aren't more success stories![/quote]

This is ridiculous.  The general public (even highly educated members) doesn't really know that many scientists or engineers (or other highly technical fields), but that doesn't mean they aren't doing groundbreaking research.  How many nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, and medicine can your average, say, Big Law partner name?  If you are not a biologist or chemist how many HHMI scientists can you name off the top of your head?[/quote]

You don't have to be able to name them - schools that have notable alums usually made it known.
