Funnily enough all the Wesleyan people are now have PhDs in quantum chemistry or biophysics. When I first moved to the US, I just assumed it rocked for theoretical science.
Including Chris Dixon, CEO of Hunch, who has a MS in philosophy.
And Tim Devane, superstar bit.ly sales/bizdev phenom is a recent Wesleyan grad too!
USV is half Wesleyan/half MIT, by degrees and by mindset too
