influence in government

Post by anstone1988 » Thu May 10, 2012 10:35 pm

Does Harvard blow Yale and Stanford out of the water in terms of alumni in the US government and foreign governments? Even after adjusting for its bigger size, Harvard seems to be leagues ahead in terms of # of senators, representatives, attorney generals, cabinet members, high level officials in foreign governments, etc.

Harvard beats Yale by a little bit when controlling for class size. Stanford isn't even close.
