[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust me folks. For a happy pre-med path, do not go to the best (most competitive) schools that accept you for undergrad. Grade deflation is real. Med School AOs may allow a small discount for top undergrad programs but this will not make things up for most kids. I have two DCs in med school. One Princeton undergrad and another from a T50. Both in about the same place now wrt med school. Princeton grad is in therapy from all the stress.

This same advice goes for Law School - Save your money, ace your grades - you need Summa, Phi Beta Kappa and super high LSAT scores to get in the top 14....undergrad does not matter.[/quote]

[b]Not summa.[/b] Many schools like UVA no longer have Latin designations nor eve phi beta kappa.  So it becomes (for law school) a battle of GPA, LSAT score and the other junk like URM  and before you say "not true", I can prove it for harvard law (where i went)  and others that they do indeed look at URM and the other skin color issues for law school admissions.  it is what it is currently.[/quote]

I was summa and it got me into Harvard law, and the other top law schools in America. No hooks[/quote]
