10. Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal

These two are one of the hottest and smartest siblings in Hollywood, both having attended Columbia University. Maggie Gyllenhaal majored in literature and Eastern religions and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1999.

Maggie also studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, while Jake enrolled at Columbia when Maggie was already a senior, but dropped out after sophomore year to pursue a career in acting after the success of “October Sky”.

Maggie later commented that her education at Columbia taught her to “acknowledge that I really know nothing.” Maggie also went to Harvard-Westlake prep school in Los Angeles.
