[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re going to have to try really hard to convince me that where you go to undergrad matters a ton if you want to be a:

Occupational therapist
Pharmacist
Physical therapist
Teacher 
Dietitian 
Lawyer
Nurse 
Police Officer 
School counselor [/quote]

You lost me at Lawyer, depending if you want Big Law,  but I agree with the rest.  [/quote]
+1. While law school may be focused on LSAT scores, a "prestigious" undergrad can give you a bump at a "prestigious" law school.  You may wind up with a Big Law job that you hate, though.

Wouldn't doctor be on the list, too? It's a combination of prerequisites (that can be obtained anywhere), GPA, MCAT scores. [/quote]

I would add accounting. You might not get recruited for big 4 out of the gate if you go to a bad school but if you can pass the CPA I doubt you’ll end up destitute. Although it’s best to go to an AASCB accredited school (some programs are not accredited by them, they’re accredited by a different org).[/quote]
I received my undergraduate degree in accounting from a no name school in my home country where my tuition was $20 a month. After moving to the US, I received Master’s in Accounting from a local college and was hired by a big 4 firm from there. [/quote]
