It's probably a pathological case centered around the mountain view office: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5534904 / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3473308

From that second link:
> These aren't Googlers I'm talking about, except the boyfriend.... remember that most of these conversations happened when I was actually in college (a few even before then, while applying to schools), and I just have a really long memory
Sounds like someone who's just into remembering people's SAT scores?

I've never seen it in MTV either. But it's a big campus, so who knows?

I worked in one of the Mountain View offices for a year and a half with people who had never even been to college, and never heard that. Doesn't mean it never happened but the idea that it's even close to common is just laughable.
I do wear my college t-shirt though. My graduating CS class was three people, so have to have a little pride there!
