[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t matter.

Maybe if you’re going for a Wall Street job it will be easier. Or top-tier consulting. That’s about it.

If you want to go to law school or medical school go to the easiest school we’re getting the best grades as possible.

+1. Grad school matters more for everything.  I went to a large midwest state flagship, followed by another state flagship for MS, followed by another not prestigious school for PhD.  My PhD was sponsored by NASA and I partnered with Stanford.  Now I work along side grads from Princeton, Wharton, MIT, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, and so many other named and no name places.  After 5 years it's all about the social skills.  Don't get me wrong you have to be smart enough, and if you want to rise you have to be socially savvy too.  The ones that get the furthest are usually just the most determined and more willing to sacrifice health and personal life for the job.[/quote]

What is the point of life if you are sacrificing your health and personal life?[/quote]
