It's not where you go to college. It's what you do when you get there... and beyond.

Each year Forbes magazine enlists a panel of "expert judges" to choose "30 Under 30" -- a greatest hits list of 20-something movers and shakers in 15 categories from technology and social entrepreneurs to marketing and science and health care.

The website 60 Second Recap -- a site aimed at teens -- decided to do a little digging with the Forbes list to find out where these high achievers attended college. Predictably, they found that a number of those on the list had attended the most highly selective colleges in the country. But then they found out that like most headlines about college admission, Forbes neglects to tell us the whole story.

…Forbes doesn't say where all, or even most, of its "30 under 30" stars went to college. So we wondered: What's up with that? What would we find if we hunted down the college affiliation of every name on the "30 under 30" list?

And what did 60 Second Recap find?

We found that appearances can be deceiving. We found that Forbes tells of one "30 under 30" honoree's experience as an undergraduate at Duke, but doesn't mention Arizona State University undergraduate degrees carried by three of its young stars. (Fun fact: Arizona State, which accepts 89% of its applicants, has more "30 under 30" alumni than The University of Chicago, which boasts an acceptance rate below 9%. Arizona State beats Duke on this score, too. And it beats Dartmouth. And Cornell. And Johns Hopkins. And...you get the idea.)

We found that most Forbes "30 under 30" honorees attended, well, ordinary colleges…

And then the experts at 60 Second Recap published their own list: “15 over 50%", highlighting the 15 alma maters of Forbes "30 under 30" honorees that accept more than 50% of their applicants. Check their list out here. From the University of Maryland and Lewis and Clark College to Indiana University and University of Iowa -- there are some great potential alma maters for future trailblazers -- and any other high school student -- to consider.

Bravo! to 60 Second Recap, for proving once again that success in life is the result of the effort and innate capabilities of an individual, not an education at any particular school, however elite it may be. We can't say it enough: It's not where you go to college. It's what you do when you get there and beyond…
