People say that Undergraduate institution does not matter, and I hear others say that it matters a little bit. What is the truth?
And WHY exactly does it not matter where you go if you are applying to medical school but it does if you are applying to law school?
I mean, I plan on going to my CC for a year and transferring to University of Kentucky but that is because I like it, it is a good school but not very prestigious. I may even get in after applying this fall hopefully. I am looking at a ton of schools out there but none of them are prestigious (many people have heard about them though) but they ARE good schools with good reputations.
And half the time when I look at peoples MDapps, they are all coming from top undergrads.
