Thought it would be interesting to see how many ex/current employees at the bulge bracket banks come from certain universities based on LinkedIn. I searched for each BB with the below unis and added the #s together.
BofA ML + X (BarCap) + Citi + CS + DB + GS + JPM + MS + UBS = Total

Obviously take these numbers with a grain of salt (Manchester's place and UCL being the first). These stats include middle office/back office employees: they have a significantly larger intake than for FO and are less competitive. I left Barclays out for this reason because too large numbers came up.
