Does the undergraduate school matter?

“A larger proportion of Plan II kids seem to set their sights on med school and it’s pretty unlikely for those kids to earn both an MD and JD”

Assuming you know all “Plan II kids” from the past 5 years, that still is a gross generalization.

“The OP stated that his school has only sent 2 kids to Harvard out of 30,000 undergraduates. I was trying to say that my school has more undergraduates and has been able to put out a larger number.”

And…Go Texas???

“From that website they say that only 13% of the class holds advance degress – so I’d say that shoots down Wildflower’s master’s degree point.”

It does not “shoot down” any point. The point, if you will, was that those students are not graduates from a single class, and that their other major accomplishments are unknown to us --from the data that’s provided. Thus, assertions provided based on that data are likely to be faulty.

“As for holding careers, who knows how many were actually employed prior to HLS”

Exactly…who knows…
