No specific analysis as we don’t collect this data for our applicants and we don’t judge applicants based on it.
Looking now at this list of top 25 global universities and looking at the backgrounds of our research and executive teams, we are 13⁄41 (32%) for “people attended a top 25 university for any of their education or post-doc work” (5/12 or 42% for people with people management responsibilities).
Maybe that’s actually undercutting my point. But I don’t think say trying to target our recruiting to elite universities or trying to give bonus points to people with elite backgrounds would be better for getting us better hires.
Also I picked my “top 25” cutoff before I saw what data we had on EA as a whole, but it looks like per EA Survey 2019 data we had 22% of EAs as attending a top 20 university (among those for which we gave data for which university they attended).
