So what the above chart is showing us is that Ivy League students in general have about a 12% chance of getting a very high paying job after college, however for the ones with high IQ, the odds jump to 16%. Surprisingly being a legacy or having strong non-academic traits (charisma) doesn’t help any. Being an athlete provides a small benefit, probably because it makes you better looking and more energetic, but IQ is a better predictor than all three other factors combined.

This shows that even among Ivy League grads, smart people are getting ahead naturally instead of just artificially getting propped up by the colleges they attend.
