Besides Ivies, What Schools Are Known for Breeding Politicians?

<p>Forgot the Academies. They definitely have very impresive lists:</p>

<p>US Military Academy-West Point
[List</a> of United States Military Academy alumni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“List of United States Military Academy alumni - Wikipedia”>List of United States Military Academy alumni - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>US Naval Academy-Anapolis
[USNA</a> Honorable Graduates](<a href=“http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Notables/]USNA”>http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Notables/)</p>

<p>I think you are asking the wrong question. With that said, I’d recommend Syracuse University and Claremont McKenna (which is in California, though.) Macalester would also be a good choice.</p>

<p>Bowdoin College:</p>

<p>Senator George Mitchell (led the Baseball steroid scandal investigation)
Franklin Pierce (former President of the United States)
Tom Allen (Congressman from Maine) </p>

<p>A host of others probably…</p>

<p>You gotta look at per capita, also.</p>

<p>UMich has churned out more politicians than most other schools, but also more lawyers, doctors, teachers, people in general…this is the distinction of being the best MegaUniversity in the nation.</p>

<p>Bowdoin is WAY smaller and probably is one of the best per capita.</p>

<p>Franklin & Marshall ¶ and James Madison College at Michigan State University.</p>

<p>Seconded F&M. Lots of distinguished alums!
What about USCG Academy? USMMA? USAF Academy?</p>

<p>Best known for “breeding politicians”. Well the ones coming out of BYU
have pretty large families, so…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Keep in mind, though, that the wikipedia politician lists favor large schools with prestigious professional schools - especially law schools. Many of the Harvard and Yale alums listed attended law school, not college, at one of those schools.</p>

<p>Ha, well for a BYU connection to mean much you need to stay in Utah and be a mormom, lol</p>

<p>any school really</p>
