[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top medical & law schools don’t really care where you went to undergrad. Top PhD programs are snobby, in that the level of research experience they expect from applicants can only be obtained at top undergrad schools. [/quote]

Not true.[/quote]

All of what’s written in that post is true.[/quote]

The first statement is. The second is not. I know people who are in or have received degrees from top PhD programs who did not attend what I assume you consider to be 'top undergrad schools'.[b] Unless you're including pretty much all flagship universities, the top 50 universities on USNWR and the top 20-30 LACs, in which case my experience is in agreement with your statement. [/b]But I still doubt you're right, because I'm sure there are exceptions I don't know about.[/quote]

Yes I would consider those “top.” Versus that a student could attend UMBC or Radford and still get into a top med or law school if they have top grades & MCAT/LSAT scores. [/quote]
