<p>Agree with Cue7. As a physician, I know many if not most of MDs are not that well off especially after all the loans they have to pay back…and they don’t start making any “real” income until they are in their 30s. In general, they do not have the “deep” pockets that technology gurus, entrepreneurs, hedge-fund managers, Wall-street types, or CEOs to make a big dent in terms of individual contributions…there may be exceptions…but they are rare.</p>
<p>Also many of the Chicago grads tend to be in academic/research medicine which may not be as lucrative as private practice.</p>
