I wonder if the area of study is important. In DD's class in NYC, where 99th percentile was a cutoff on the OLSAT, there were 3 pairs of MDs, 4 pairs of PhD (all STEM - from chem to astrophysics), a smattering of one parent MDs, partner varied. I would say that at least half the class had STEM based parents from a group of 20.

Considering we got many of our PhD's from Columbia, there wasn't representation from non stem PhDs
