Where you go to professional school may have an effect on where you get into residency/fellowship training at (although, again, this may not be too significant). The reason why i say this effect may not be too significant is that people at Ivy League schools would probably have a better chance in either case when compared to an otherwise equal applicant from a state school, but there are still plenty of people attending state schools for both UG and professional school that get into competitive residency programs. However, based on your question it sounds like you're only asking how UG will affect your chances at residency/fellowship training. I'm not on any sort of admissions committee but I'm under the impression based on all I've read that its your most recent phase of education that is really the most important. With that said if you went to state school X for undergrad then got into a good professional school, the residency programs after you graduate from professional school probably aren't going to look back at the fact you went to state school X for UG and give you a bad "ranking." Its going to be where you went to professional school and how you performed there that really matters.</p></blockquote><p></p>
