Actual numbers: a third of VCs surveyed attended one of five schools: Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Duke or MIT. So presumably, two thirds didn't. This doesn't really sound like a huge degree of homogeneity, especially given that your average VC has more than one degree.

What fraction of college grads have even one degree from any of those places?

  Very roughly, 1%.

    The 1% is better than "very rough" :) Assuming 1/3 of Americans go to college, and a life expectancy of 75 years, there should be a little more than 1 million college grads per year, and those schools together should graduate roughly 7-10000 a year.
