[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this talk about going to an easier lesser ranked school. It all depends on your perspective and whether you want to learn from other peers, or merely be the top person in the class.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.[/quote]

BS---there will be plenty of Top students at a school ranked 100.  One kid went to a T100 (around 80 ranks).  They themselves were friends with the Bs are okay students--all of those kids graduated and are well employed or in graduate school.  But there were plenty of kids in the honors program (and also non honors) who were "3.8+ gpa" in engineering and premed programs (with harder majors than Biology---a true Biomedical sciences undergrad degree), prePA, DPT, etc.  So while the entire population is not "tippy top students" at least 25-30% of the campus were.  And I'd argue that the next 25% were equal peers as well.

Also, in real life you will never again deal with only "tippy top students"  Real life involves people at all levels.  Your boss might even be someone who got Cs at no-name-state U, while you went to Harvard. [/quote]
