Elite != Culturally recognized

Every American knows Harvard, many wouldn't know Cal Tech or MIT.

I'm going to call bullshit on Americans not knowing MIT. It's TV/movie shorthand for someone being a tech genius, same way Harvard is shorthand for being a top lawyer/politician/writer. "Top of his class at MIT"

I grew up in America. I went to MIT. Three(!) of my high school teachers didn't know what it was.
