[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As always, it depends.

If you want to get into an elite career or grad school program, college rankings absolutely matter.

If you're like the other 95% of college students who just want a decent middle class job, most colleges will do the trick just fine.[/quote]

There is absolutely zero evidence to support your statement about getting into grad school.

And what exactly is your idea of an elite career?[/quote]
All you need to get into an elite law or medical school is elite level lsat, etc scores and near perfect grades in under grad, and recs and have shown drive. This is actually easier to do at a school that is “less competitive” and has greater access to professors than at Cornell, for instance. This is the case for most highly selective grad programs. A very smart person who is driven in undergrad will actually have a higher chance of getting into a highly selective grad program if they are able to stand out a bit rather than just be in the middle of the pack of high achieving wolves fighting for the professors attention and opportunities.[/quote]
