Just another listing where Michigan is in the top ten. The listing is weighted for school size. Very impressive!

Some is a numbers game and odds too. You have 1,500-2,000 undergrads and them some with 30K undergrads.

No wonder the big 10 is so competitive

This algorithm (which I haven't studied and am not endorsing) gives Harvard a "Leadership Score" of 100. Then there's a chasm. Then Stanford at 90 and Penn at 89. The other 97 schools on the list range from 87 down to 81 (with fully 81 of the schools scoring either 82 or 81).

I'd say the list holds two surprises: 1. How far apart from all the rest Harvard stands; and 2. How tightly bunched all the rest are. The folks focused on the ordinal rankings are missing everything that potentially could matter.

Any Surprises?

The lack of service academies and NESAC schools. Both of those are very over represented per capita among politicians, CEOs and academics

I wonder if they stick narrowly to the university definition and excluded service academies.

Click the link. There's 2 service academys, they're just not top 30

No point adding union leadership into the mix.

Is it for bachelors or includes graduate degrees?

If so, are they double-counting schools?

GU is where foreign leaders go to school. Not US leaders….

True about foreign leaders. Untrue about US

Bill Clinton, Tenet, Petraeus, Leahy, Podesta, Kelly, McAullife, Buchanan, Durbin, Murkowski, Gates, etc.

Seems like it used to be a good school.

Still is clearly.

as evidenced by PP's list of octogenarian alumni

Big 10 = CEOs
