[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I read the title of this thread, I thought it was going to go in a slightly different direction. I agree with the OP that this is something often said on DCUM, but then I've wondered just how easy it is to get into an Ivy or other top grad program, regardless of where the student went to undergrad. Especially if the student wasn't accepted into a "top" (however you want to define it) undergrad school in the first place, why would the person/parent just assume that the student can always "go to an Ivy for grad school"? [/quote] OP here. I kinda agree with you -- getting into med school as a middling (or good, but not great) high school student will be quite difficult. But some grad programs (mostly PhD programs in the humanities or MFA programs) at Ivies have a cohort that's definitely not as academically strong as the school name might suggest. [/quote]
