Poll of graduates shows Harvard University is every stereotype you've envisioned.

Harvard University's school newspaper, The Crimson, polls graduating seniors every year regarding a myriad of topics, and this year's results are either to be expected or frightening, depending on how much of a cynic/realist you are.

The highlights:

Hey, Big Spender!

19.42% of graduating males report their first job's starting salary will be $90,000 or more, with 6.2% reporting they will earn more than $110,000 starting immediately. (Now would be the time to wax poetic about that time you graduated college and worked as a waiter at Applebees.) There's income inequality among genders at Harvard though, as only 3.57% of females report they will earn a starting salary of more than $90,000 upon graduation. The glass ceiling is universal, regardless of economic background.

Overall, nearly 70% of males and 45% of females report they will earn at least a $50,000 salary with their first job. In case you're wondering, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the median individual income for any American is roughly $29,000.


So everyone on Wall Street attended Harvard?

The finance industry is attracting the plurality of graduates. Nearly 1-in-4 male Harvard graduates report entering the finance field, and 31% of all graduating seniors, male or female, report their first job will either be in finance or consulting.


Put another way, it's not an accepting place.

When it comes to accepting diversity on campus, Harvard apparently has a long way to go. 36% of non-white students reported feeling marginalized during their time at the university, with 60% of African Americans responding as such.

Likewise, sexual assault is abundantly prevalent on campus, with 12% of females and 2% of males reporting they have been sexually assaulted during their time at Harvard. Of those who responded about being assaulted, only 16% ever reported the crime.

42% of all Harvard graduates reported seeking out mental health counseling at some point. Of those that directly sought help through the school, 57.9% were neutral, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied with their treatment. This contrasts greatly with students who sought counseling through off-campus means, where 74.4% of respondents reported they were satisfied or very satisfied with their treatment.


Politicians learn from a young age.

And, lastly, the Crimson reports that 17% of all Harvard graduating seniors admitted to cheating on their academics while attending the school.

The real kicker? Those who admit to be entering the field of politics proclaim to be much more honest. Only 7% of potential politicians admitted they ever cheated academically.
