[quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who looks up where their medical professionals attended med school?

I want a doctor from a top program, not one who went to KP School of Medicine (Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine).

Same with hiring.  That's fantastic that you shelled out $$ for your doctorate, but when I see you next to an applicant with a doctorate from a not-for-profit university, they are getting picked over you.

My niece just completed her psychology degree at Shenandoah University.  The level of work she was doing there was no more difficult than AP Psychology.  Her practicum for graduation was the level of research you'd see at a HS science fair.  Look, it's a perfectly great university, but the degree she earned from there is not on the same level as my B.S. in Psychology from Duke.  She's now prepping for grad school and if she gets accepted at some of the programs to which she's applying, she's going to struggle.

I know that it isn't fair, but where you obtained the degree from does matter in the real world.  Yes, having one gives you an advantage over someone without, but a UVA degree is no match for a CNU degree.     [/quote]
