[b]So only 10 CEOs from 500 schools, or 10%…sounds statistically average to me..[/b][/quote]

Look again.  This says that 69 CEOs of Fortune 500 companies -- 14 percent -- went to 10 universities.  That's not statistically average at all.  That's extraordinary.[/quote]

Not when you consider that those schools all got their choice of the most ambitious, smart high school students. Their success is due to who they are, not where they went.[/quote]
