True, but in addition CMU probably has one of the best information security programs (and I'm sure various other comp sci-related programs) in the country. US-CERT originated there, and their CTF team is pretty much the best in the world.
So for example, if I were a manager hiring for a security position, I would probably place more weight in a CMU graduate than a random Ivy graduate.
I would also say it's probably not coincidental that they churn out very competent individuals and also are very academically rigorous. Sometimes theory and practice do align.
