[quote=Anonymous]UMBC's bio science programs are actually quite good. Its reputation is much different than it used to be. I know someone who got a full ride to UMBC and is now getting an MD/PhD at an Ivy (with a full ride). She's done a lot of great research along the way, which I'm sure helped her, but that started at UMBC.

Being a standout at UMBC will take her further than mediocre at Stanford. And with less debt, so she can really focus on what she wants to do vs picking a medical specialty because it will pay more.

In terms of being more impressed with a doctor from Stanford - I'm admittedly a bit of a snob about these things. So I try to look at this before I go to a new doctor. You will find that most doctors don't even include their undergrad institutions on their websites, hospital websites, etc. Perhaps the Ivy or similar ones do. But in my experience that number must be fairly small, because most doctors don't reference undergrad and only include med school and relevant trainings. [/quote]
