[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do find myself mumbling in social settings about having gone to school "in the Boston area"--a verbal tick that seems common with other Harvard graduates.[/quote] Ridiculous. Just say it. Why are you trying to draw more attention to this tiny little fact? -Harvard graduate[/quote] If asked - say where you went to school. Otherwise, why would you even bring it up in the first place?[/quote] I never bring it up. In fact, I avoid the topic as much as possible but sometimes other people bring it up. I used to straight up say where I went to school but as previous posters have noted, it changes the conversational dynamic EVERY SINGLE TIME and for the worse - it just becomes very awkward and people start making the usual assumptions about you "You must be rich/privileged/entitled/legacy/URM/spoiled/arrogant/etc." [/quote]
