[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to depend on what you want to study and your value system.

I’m in medicine and literally does not matter what school. Many colleagues who went to Ivy for undergrad didn’t like their experience. Maybe ivy is good for careers PP posted- consulting, banking, PE, Wall Street)

For my super high stats kid, I still stress fit and vibe and opportunities for their interests. 
For my above avg kid, I won’t make them kill themselves in HS. This is life too. Life is not just in the future. [/quote]

I will admit that I don’t understand the operations of medicine at all.

My kid was admitted to Georgetown hospital and other than the attending in the ER, not one of the four other doctors that saw my kid even attended a US medical school.

They weren’t Caribbean schools…but European or Indian.  None I would even remotely recognize.[/quote]

This is so weird. Were you asking each doctor you saw what school they went to?[/quote]

They all had an accent and was curious as to their backgrounds so looked up their bios.

Don’t you do some due diligence on doctors for major medical events for your kid?

Turned out that major surgery was not needed.[/quote]

If time allowed for a medical event or procedure I would research doctors, but no, when my kid goes to the hospital I don’t check where the doctors went to school. And definitely not just because they have accents.[/quote]

Time would have allowed it after getting out of the ER for observation.

It’s really not that uncommon to check out the bios of your doctors…which you know and now for some reason you are just doubling-down on your comment.

Your comment was stupid and out of left field and had nothing to add as to how the medical profession works.[/quote]

It’s pretty weird to check where all of the doctors you see in a hospital went to school because they had accents. Deal with it.[/quote]
