The fact that lottery winners exist does not make playing the lotteryna wise choice

There’s massive bias for mediocre ivy grads. It’s a little ridiculous of an award.

I don't think UVA had any this year.


But certainly UVA picked up a few Nobel prizes this year, right?

some of these schools are counting differently. Brown talks about their two seniors, but they also have a '25 grad who was named.

met talks 4, but only 2 are seniors. Brown would have called that 2.

Strong representation from the military/air force academies - 5 winners.

Strong representations from MIT and ivies.

Congrats to Claremont Mckenna & Colby.

Congrats to GWU and Rutgers!



Congrats to Sewanee too and their physics student! Maybe the smallest of all the schools this year.

"This is the lowest number of American Harvard winners in recent memory — the College had five U.S. recipients in 2024, nine in 2023, six in 2022, four in 2021, and six in 2020."
