[quote=Anonymous]Some theories: 1) Harvard is a huge school. It claims more than 370,000 alumni, who are overrepresented in DC. So you meet more Harvard alumni than alumni from most other big schools. 2) You probably interact with a lot of Harvard people, some who name drop and some who don't. The ones who name drop tend to act like, well, name droppers. The others are less likely to, but you don't associate them with Harvard. 3) Confirmation bias; you are more likely to notice and remember Harvard jerks than jerks from other schools or regular people from Harvard because of the preexisting reputation. - Harvard (grad school) alumni who tries not to mention it.
