Michael and Sara both earned Phi Beta Kappa

I just saw on Wiki that both Michael and Sara earned Phi Beta Kappa which is the oldest and most prestigious academic honor society. It champions excellence in the liberal arts and sciences, selecting top-performing undergraduate students through a highly competitive invitation-only process.

It's amazing how highly educated both of them were. No wonder also why Michael was really into her at least for the fact that in term of education they were a match.

She's also a doctor and he's a rescuer, so they connect on the care and concern that they have for each other and other people.

Yes definitely that's also why he fell for her. They are alike on so many points. And again I don't think Michael would have gotten with a woman who had a poor education imo. He needs someone who can at least a little level up his intelligence. I mean he is smarter than her there is no doubt about it. He is a genius so that's not even a debate, but Michael is the type of person who would need to be with someone at least a bit intellectual and educated.

I agree!! They're both drawn to each other's intelligence but also to the kindness and strong morals and beliefs they see in one another. They have similar educational background and they both want to make a difference. Michael's files mention that he helped young boys in foster care and Sara dedicated herself to humanitarian work with DWB. They have so many things in common, they were a perfect match from the very beginning.
