If we're talking just straight schools. Youtube's chief of staff went to Harvard UG, Rhode Scholar afterwards, and then graduated from Harvard JD/MBA. I think Mitt Romney did something similar and couple people at Wachell got joint JDS/MBAs. What's the best you've seen?

I'm sure many can relate to this haha
I had a prof who did Harvard AB in Applied Mathematics, Harvard AM in Statistics, Bain consulting, Booth MBA, Bain consulting, and then Harvard PhD.
Larry Summers matriculated at MIT when he was 16, got his PhD at Harvard, and was a tenured professor at Harvard by 28. Hard to be more "academic" than that.
Girl who was the valedictorian at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan. Majored in a STEM subject at Harvard with top grades.
That's the most impressive you've seen? Where do you work, Taco Bell?
She was very early in her career and I'm sure will do a PhD/MD at another top school. In any event, being the sole valedictorian at what is probably the most competitive high school in the country is no easy accomplishment.
I had a prof who was MIT UG for Electrical Engineering, Wharton MBA, PhD at Harvard. Unsurprisingly, he was not a good teacher.
Had a professor who went to Princeton at 16, became a Rhodes Scholar, then went to Harvard Law where he was President of the Harvard Law Review.
He now has his own PE shop.

And, guess what? He works for me - a dumb, semi-target state school grad.
What is your role that he works for you?!
CEO of a company that I co-founded...he's actually a couple of rungs down. I was primarily making a point that academic pedigree is not the same thing as career success. He's actually awesome and very successful...still not the boss though.
Unfortunately I dont remember the name of this guy, but he was a guest speaker at an AI conference I went to in Sillicon Valley. He did a PhD at Stanford and Harvard simultaneously. He would commute coast to coast on a weekly basis.
A friend of mine graduated from Harvard in 3 years with both an AB and SM in Applied Mathematics (with honours). He's currently doing a joint MBA/MA in Education at Stanford and is off to Oxford in the Fall as a Rhodes Scholar to do his DPhil. He also worked as an analyst at a top New York hedge fund and is the CEO of a company valued at about USD 150m. He's currently only 23 and undoubtedly the most impressive person I've ever met.
