The big tech firms are notorious for the same thing with a slightly different set of high-prestige schools, so I don't know what difference you are trying to draw?

I just did a quick check in LinkedIn, choosing four people at GS with "Trader" in their title. The four schools I got: UNC Chapel Hill; Duke; Williams College; Amherst College. I find that distribution hard to correlate with your statement.

Aren't these all expensive private "elite non Ivy" schools? Maybe OP was being too restrictive with the 3 listed schools but I think the general point being implied is correct.
My SO works in media and I can assure you the hiring process there is completely, thoroughly, perniciously subjective. Experiencing her job search really gave me appreciation for the fact that taking a test is 80% of my interview process.
