I don't think it's a terribly larger percentage than at any other college. The guys at the other colleges just regret that they don't have the leg up on such a plan that Harvard would give them.

Could be. But a few years ago, 40% of the graduating class got jobs in finance. I find that a sickening indictment of our whole society and its priorities.
