That’s twice the return of 63 “Hidden Ivies”—other top private colleges—and almost three times the median of all other schools included in Bloomberg’s research.To get these numbers, Bloomberg used data from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. Notably, it doesn’t include students who paid full price to attend school.
Closely following those top three schools are Yale with a $267,000 ROI and Columbia with $264,000. Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown round out the list with slightly lower totals: $190,000 for Cornell, $183,000 for Dartmouth, and $172,000 for Brown.
