How many US Congressman went to Ivy League?
I was interested in this very question and just counted US Senators on Wikipedia. In the present 112th US Congressional session, there are 27 Senators with at least one Ivy League degree--either undergraduate, graduate or both. More interestingly there are 44 US Senators with at least one degree from an Ivy League school or other comparable elite institution of higher learning. This includes top law schools like New York University, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, and University of Texas. Also included are the top three liberal arts colleges in the nation--Amherst, Swarthmore and Williams --and prestigious institutions like Cambridge, Oxford and the London School of Economics in the UK, and Georgetown (which is heavily represented), Duke, Stanford and other highly regarded non-Ivy universities. Couple this with most Senators being millionaires, and you start realizing how unrepresentative Congress--or at least the Senate--really is.
