I can think of reasons for a lot of the colleges that produce many more congress members than their rank might lead one to guess (Georgetown is in DC, the military academies seem to make sense).

- tobobo 10y agoAs a Wesleyan alumn I was very surprised to see it so high, but I think it's likely a scraping error—searching for "Wesleyan University" shows many hits for Ohio Wesleyan, Kentucky Wesleyan, Texas Wesleyan, and so forth.
