[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be interested to see how SLACs would fare, if you looked only at undergraduate programs.[/quote]

LACs only have a fraction of the alumni of many of these schools and no graduate schools.  (It wouldn't surprise me if Harvard Business School on its own could be top 3.)  If you take a look at Princeton, it is ranked just below UT Austin in the number of high net worth alumni (but higher net worth of high net worth alumni), but Texas has about 5.8X as many alumni.  Princeton, although relatively small, still has 4.25X as many alumni as a an SLAC.  [/quote]

I was interested in SLAC, so pulling out the undergraduate programs from these universities to see what net worth would be. [b]Of course universities with business schools are going to do better--these alum were 1) older and 2) interested primarily in making more money[/b]. That's not interesting to me.[/quote]

There is a big overlap between top MBA programs and this list.  Harvard Business School shows up at #6 for some ridiculous reason in USNWR rankings, but there is no way it doesn't have more high net worth alumni than almost all schools period.

High Net Worth:

[b]1 (1) Harvard University
2 (2) Stanford University
3 (3) University of Pennsylvania
4 (4) Columbia University
5 (5) New York University
6 (6) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
7 (8) Northwestern University
8 (9) University of Southern California
9 (10) University of Chicago
10 (11) Yale University
11 (12) University of California, Berkeley
12 (14) Cornell University
13 (15) The University of Texas at Austin[/b]
14 (16) Princeton University
[b]15 (17) University of Notre Dame
16 (18) University of Michigan
17 (20) University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
18 (22) University of Virginia[/b]
19 (23) Boston University
20 (24) University of Miami

Re: Harvard's #6 ranking: Harvard is obviously Harvard and will always have the associated prestige, but among M7 schools it's notorious as resting on its laurels in the last couple of years and having some of the lowest post-grad salaries and outcomes. Not saying it deserves the #6 ranking, but there is [I]some[/I] merit to it.[/quote]

Perhaps.  Where did you see that HBS is having low post-grad salaries?  (Poets and Quants seems to be about the only site with decent information these days.)  Still, I'll bet HBS has more high net worth than any other school and would probably rank high on this list on its own.  It is big, old, and prestigious.[/quote]
