Comparing main university alumni only — counts and multiples below are within that lens (switch it with the tabs at the top).
Which schools produce the most (left), and where it's the biggest part of the school's identity (right). "3×" = that school's notable alumni are three times as likely to have this employer as the typical school's. People who attended recently weigh more than those from earlier eras.
