[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking with my primary care doctor earlier this week during a visit.  He graduated from Tufts medical school, which I knew, but I didn’t know his undergrad was Old Dominion Univ.  ODU is a perfectly fine school but from a pure rankings standpoint is something this board with scoff at.  My point of this post is a reminder that what you do in undergrad is far more important than where you go.  Doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc come from all sorts of undergrad schools.  Should be obvious but I think this bird often forgets.[/quote]

It’s so weird that you (and this board) think this is a revelation.  Just look at the undergrads of lawyers at the best law firms. They are largely not elite schools.[/quote]
NP. There is the annoying feeder myth that comes up once every month or two in this forum, usually from high school students and sometimes from newer parents who do not have familiarity with these fields. There may also be confusion with the fact that prestige of the law school may carry great significance whereas undergrad carries virtually none.[/quote]
