[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I was top of my class at a small no-name school, did great on the LSAT, went to a T14 and then to BigLaw. I have done very well. After this, nobody cared where I went to college. But many of my college friends are still living hand to mouth 30 years later. I am sure, on average, it's less true of top school grads from the same year. Is it possible to be a big fish in a small pond? Absolutely. But you better be sure you can do it and things don't go off track. [/quote] This. In academic medicine I work with tons of people who did really well at non-elite colleges. Easy to conclude that UG doesn’t matter, but these colleagues represent a small sliver of their UG. I went to a top LAC. Most of us who completed premed and applied got in.[/quote]
