People tend to have a different impression of people who go to MIT than to Harvard (people tend to have more negative stereotypes of students at Harvard than of students at MIT). Saying you went to MIT makes everyone think you are smart, but it doesn't socially intimidate people.
So, I would say there isn't really a need for an M-bomb, because saying you went to MIT doesn't have the same effect as saying you went to Harvard.
This is from my personal experience, so feel free to disagree.
