Bromwell is most likely modeled on Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, given the similarity in names between Newtown and New Haven. A throwaway line about "the pizza in Newtown" may also be a giveaway, as New Haven is famed for its pizza, at least among Yale students. It's possible, however, that another school is the model, as 3.5 hours is a very conservative estimate for driving time between New Haven and Boston. The distance from Raft, in Boston, makes Harvard (in nearby Cambridge) an unlikely model.
Tom's attendance of that school continues a family tradition, in what was clearly meant to be a parody of the "family legacies" so often present at Ivy League schools.
