[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton and have a phd from one of the top 3 in my discipline. This is not information I feel the need to broadcast, but by the same token I don't try to be evasive, because the people who care about this stuff will make it their business to find out, because they are obsessed about some sort of rank. This occasionally happened to me when i was younger, and sometimes on dates the guy could not let go of it, pretending to be impressed, but bringing it up constantly in a way that demonstrated his insecurity or intolerance. However, the majority of people don't really care about where you went to school and now that I'm older, I find that people judge success by many other measures (by which I would not be seen as hugely successful, in point of fact). fwiw, Dh has a bachelors and it's never bothered him--he is far more well read in a broad way than I am. [/quote]

OP here - I do have a grad degree from a pretty highly ranked private school but I'm more like your DH. We're 'foxes' but tend to date 'hedgehogs' I guess.

Fox/hedgehog comes from the famous Isiah berlin essay on the types of thinkers.[/quote]
