Forbes magazine recently announced its latest ranking of U.S. universities which produce the greatest number of entrepreneurs. Its methodology involved tallying the universities' entrepreneurial ratio: the number of alumni and students who identify themselves as founders and business owners on LinkedIn, compared to the school's total student body-undergraduate and graduate combined.

While Stanford takes the top spot, that is due partly because the school was recognized for its famous dropouts such as Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin; Yahoo's Jerry Yang and David Filo; and Snapchat's Evan Spiegel.

The MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition helped land that school in the spotlight, having led to the creation of more than 130 companies and 2,500 jobs, according to Forbes.
