For some corroboration, I grew up as a 1%-er and I went to one of those schools with a student body of ~2k. I studied in London for a semester. My first week off the plane, there was a meet and greet with alums that were living there at the time. Before finishing my first drink I had an internship lined up at Credit Suisse for the summer. The school I went to was almost 25% Econ majors. Out of a class of ~500, we had 18 Math majors. We didn't even have a CS major available. The value wasn't in Linear Algebra, it was in people. I'm one of two people I know from school that work in STEM. All of my college buddies work in finance or politics. I still attend the meet and greets in NYC, and I end up as the center of attention because I DON'T work in finance (anymore). Funny enough, my brother also went to one of those schools. He's at GS.
