[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid wants to be an academia, it likely does not matter either since graduate school is more dispositive.[/quote] Graduate schools see a 4.0 from non-flagship state school applicants the same as a 4.0 from HYPSM?[/quote] NP. Well, at least in my field (biology), grad schools didn’t seem to care where you went to undergrad. They care about research experience/interest/trajectory, grades, ambition, etc. Getting in depends on finding a professor with similar research interests who will accept you in to his or her lab. That’s pretty much it. Similarly, DH got into HLS from a medium level state flagship. He had a great LSAT score. As a PP said, for most people & most jobs, no— where you attend undergrad doesn’t matter much. [/quote]
