Any Surprises?

Surprised Penn State was only #3. More CEOs than any undergrad but Stanford.

These leaders span a broad range of industries and fields, bringing diverse experiences and expertise to their roles." Since Time picked Taylor Swift as it's person of the year, wondering what their criteria was for "most influential leaders"

Why are you obsessed with Northeastern

It's relatively recent that Northeastern has became semi-elite status.
Some basher often say that it was a commuter school 20-30 years ao.
So that's the explanation.

Today it's full of bright motivated independent kids. Many of them have stats for T20sih schools, so give it 10, 20, 30 more years.
It'll probably come close to BU BC Tufts level.

It probably already passed BU BC Tufts rank at the moment, maybe the best school in ME. I just watched a youtube video, one student got rejected by NEU but got accepted to MIT and Harvard. Wow. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9HJLFRMys4

I also thought Duke would be higher (and I'm by no means a Duke fan - I am just surprised to see them just a little above ASU.) I would also have expected GU to come in at 8 or 9, ahead of Michigan and Chicago.

DMV is in the east cost. Duke is an easy coast thing by DMV boosters. Duke's not as well known as Harvard, Stanford, or Columbia outside that region.

Just another area where Duke comes up short. Is this really a top ten school?

In the DMV area, the boosters say so. The rest of the country sees Duke on the level of USC, BU, BC, Northeastern, Vandy, Emory, Rice, WashU... It's still a great school to be in this class.

I wonder where UVA would rank without UVA law school included?

The same place Penn would rank without Wharton. Much lower for sure.

LAC's have lost a lot of standing over the past 30 years. DCUM won't admit it.

+1.

Very true.

But this list doesn't feel intuitively correct. ASU over West Point and Annapolis for leadership? I don't think so. It must be biased towards the size of the class. Academy grads are generally fast-tracked into leadership positions in corporate, finance, consulting etc.

Same with some of the smaller schools - Rice, Williams, Amherst. Small number of grads. But highly recruited. Though it's true many are more interested in pursuing their passions instead of the C suite - to their credit.
