3/3 Largest Bank CEOs went to NESCAC Colleges

The CEOs of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley all went to Nescac Schools. Even a recent and previous CEO of Barclays went to one too.

David Solomon - Hamilton College Ted Pick - Middlebury College Jamie Dimon - Tufts

Why is this? Do liberal arts kids tend to do better long term cue to a pure liberal arts education? There’s many more top senior guys that are Nescac Alumni despite the colleges being 1,000-3,000 students.

But these schools combined have less students than Cornell. So there must be other factors at play. Perhaps the value / quality of the education?

Not to mention there are plenty of Liberal Arts / NESCAC grads in high PE roles. Henry Kravis, etc. so I don’t think your comment is a strong argument.
