Colleges if you want to be rich?

[Corbett]

Of the top 100 National Universities and top 100 National Liberal Arts Colleges, here are the ones with at least 10% of their alumni who go on to be among the top 1% and at least 25% of their alumni who go on to be among the top 5%.

@Alexandre Interesting list – but I don’t think it’s complete, given the stated criteria.

For example, Lehigh is a “Top 100 National University” according to USN&WR. And according to the NYTimes data, Lehigh has 10% of alumni in the top 1%, with 36% in the top 5%. So it would seem to meet the stated criteria, yet is not on the list.

Similarly, Richmond is a “Top 100 National Liberal Arts College” according to USN&WR. And according to the NYTimes data, Richmond has 11% of alumni in the top 1%, and 31% in the top 5%. So Richmond would also seem to meet the stated criteria, but is not on the list either.

I didn’t try to check all 100 top national universities or LACs, so I don’t know if there are any other omissions.
