an elite university is a university whose alumni all make 6 figures or more a year, ie Harvard



Trust me, Harvard has PLENTY of alumni who don’t make anywhere near 6 figures a year.

While Harvard doesn’t publish its salary data online, Princeton does. Not one person in Princeton’s class of 2006 reported a 6-figure starting salary. These people are all obviously alumni now. So I guess that means that Princeton is not an elite school?

Similarly, the average starting salary of MIT grads in 2006 was nowhere near 6 figures. So I suppose that means that MIT is not an elite school?
