I'm curious whether the info about Harvard students is accurate as well. If there's one university I would imagine gets followed by a lot of non-students it's Harvard.

For a clear illustration, look at their respective facebook place pages: Harvard: 918,295 likes; Stanford: 248,574; UC Berkeley: 86,214; MIT: 65,339; Caltech: 2,686;

This clearly isn't about the schools' relative sizes or their popularity among past students but the global reach of their respective brand names.

Some of the things listed for Harvard rang very true from my time there (particularly the interests in consulting, new york, private equity, and famous harvard grads like Conan) while others made less sense to me (Jimmy Fallon?)

Still a very interesting data set though, if only to see what kinds of people are influenced by each school's brand.
