[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one seems to care about the elite nature or rigor of a particular school until it comes time to chose the doctor that will perform your quadruple bypass surgery.  In that moment, everyone becomes an educational snob.[/quote]

Quite frankly, I've never known or cared about where a doctor graduated from.[/quote]

Stunning.  You do know that there are some really good and some really bad medical schools out there.[/quote]

Actually I don't think there are really bad medical schools.  They are a restricted resource in this country and they all tend to be OK, at least the ones in the US.  The school a surgeon went to is way, way less important than their experience and reputation.  I have researched surgeons for bypass surgery for a loved one by asking several experts in the field.  Never once did I ask which school they went to (which would have been decades ago).I suspect that the best in this area did not go to Harvard, Yale wherever.[/quote]
