Who you are is a more accurate predictor of entrepreneurship and success. That being said the two schools that have the best track records are Stanford and UIUC. Stanford (Google, Yahoo, Sun Microsystems) and UIUC (Netscape, Paypal, YouTube, Oracle, Yelp, Farmville)

"Who you are is a more accurate predictor of entrepreneurship and success." is a wonderfully succinct way to put it, and I hope to become more and more like those who have succeeded in the future (e.g. solid work ethic/reading about a variety of subject/talking to more people).

I guess I'll just have to improve myself, and chase the smart people, who seem to swarm to these universities.
