[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Even if it means a slightly less prestigious medical school, it’s worth it.[/quote]

I watched high school valedictorians with 1550+ SATs completely burn out of premed at Princeton or end up going to really low tier med schools. A doctor from Podunk U med school is a Podunk U doctor (not a “Princeton man/woman”).

That said, premed is still doable if you’re smart enough to take an “easy major”. The students I saw crash and burn did hardcore STEM(chemistry, biology etc.). Also if your kid eventually wants IB/PE/HF and know how to fit in with the country club crowd Princeton can be a gateway to absolutely mind-blowing wealth(I’m talking seven figure incomes before 30).

In general people pay more attention to undergraduate degrees than where people attended med school. It’s understood there are a limited number of slots in medical school and as long you get into an accredited school it’s admired.

So, yes, a Princeton man or woman is always a Princeton man or woman. [/quote]

Omg ! Not at all.  I see where my doctor went to medical school for FFS—-you know the many years after undergrad that are the most important.  And residency to boot.

I like a Hopkins or Yale or Harvard med. I could give a rat’s a$$ where they went undergrad if they ended up at a questionable or shitty med school…or Caribbean one. Lol [/quote]
