Why are Harvard's alumni so wealthy?

Here is the article.

Some possible explanations for the discrepancy:
  • Harvard selects students with higher expected earnings.
  • Harvard selects students from families who are already wealthy (more than other top schools: the wealthy alumni are not self-made).
  • Students who aspire to make a lot of money choose Harvard (over other top schools).
  • Going to Harvard increases students' earning power (more than other top schools), for example, through better networking opportunities.
