Where the Fortune 50 CEOs
Went to College
Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2006 By JOSEPH R. SANTO
Surprisingly, Ivy League graduates do not dominate the top fifty Fortune 500 Companies. When
measuring CEO undergraduate education, the University of Texas system has just as much
representation as Harvard: a total of 3 CEOs. What does this mean for students? An elite career doesn?t
always stem from an elite education.

College / University Search Priority Cards
We recommend that you use these cards as follows. Vary it to suit your family and needs.
1. Cut them out into individual squares.
2. Students should independently order them by college search priority – what is most
important goes first, and so on.
3. Parent/s should then order them by college search priority.
4. Compare your lists –
a. How are you similar?
b. Where are the major differences?
c. Why do you believe these differences are there?
d. This may be a great chance for your student to be really open about his/her feelings
about this college search.
5. Use this as a good starting point for starting to narrow down the college search.
6. You may want to try it again next year, and the next, to see:
a. Did your / your student’s priorities change?
b. If so, why do you think so?
