> How many traders at Goldman Sachs don't have degrees from Penn/Harvard/Yale/etc?

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.

Chapel Hill is a relatively prestigious public school. The other three are prestigious private schools.
