Top 10 Elite Universities & Their Famous Alumni

3 Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

Cornell University is a fancy school. But did you know that three Nobel Prize-winning women have graduated from Cornell University? It’s not surprising, I suppose. Toni Morrison and Pearl S. Buck won the Literature Nobel Prize in 1938 and 1993, respectively. Barbra McClintock, a Cornell graduate, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Psychology of Medicine in 1983.

Christopher Reeves, our favorite Superman, is another famous alumnus. Mario Garcia Menocal, former president of Cuba, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, are two examples of success stories from the Ivy League school.
