I could see that being the case from time to time, but saying something like "oh I went to school up in New Haven/Boston area/San Jose" seems like an obvious humblebrag in most contexts.

The people that go to those schools tend to gravitate to NYC/Boston/Philly/DC, and we all know each other since those schools are all fed by the northeast boarding schools.
