This is interesting, and those lists might look fairly similar today — but let's note that these stats are for the Class of 2013. The students currently applying for college are the Class of 2029.
true - although the theee rich academic failure kids I know go to schools on those lists

When I think of rich kid schools I think of schools that are ONLY known for having a lot of well-off students, not Ivies, etc. which obviously have a lot of rich kids but are primarily known for academic prestige. In other words: Denison.

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not. The kids attending are rich, the outcomes not so much.
Have you ever worked on The Street? Bucknell punches way above its weight there. Not back office, either.
Is this the alcohol talking?

Bad advice. I work on Wall Street and have literally never heard of anyone who went to Bucknell. Never. If that's your goal and you want a small college, then try Williams, Colgate, maybe Barnard (with Baruch being the real secret door).
All I've ever heard of Bucknell is the drinking and Animal House frats.

Seeking an MRS degree will do that.
