<p>To illustrate, I am sure that young alumni of Ferris are occasionally admitted to Harvard Med or Yale Law. However, I’d wager that in aggregate their probability of admission is decidedly lower than their counterparts from Michigan. Will that ever make any difference to you? Frankly, it might or it might not. One could have a VERY successful career in the law or in medicine (to carry the earlier example forward) going to less distinguished undergraduate and professional schools, but I suspect faculty members at Hopkins Med or partners at Williams and Connelly are disproportionate drawn from elite universities.</p>

<p>entirely disagree, especially because all my examples intentionally referred to first-tier professional schools (and their likely follow-on career opportunities), not to fully respectable Law and Medical Schools (e.g., those at most public universities) that clearly do not have the same level of admissions or the academic rigor.

<p>In regards to med schools, your undergrad is largely irrelevant. </p>

<p>And if you are suggesting that “respectable med schools” do not have the “academic rigor” then you are wrong. Med school education is flat at US MD schools…they all teach the same thing. </p>
