I can’t help with business or law school, but for biology graduate programs the prestige of your undergraduate institution is largely unimportant. If this were to play a factor, though, UM would be just fine, as in the Med School application process where it is considered to be a tier 1 school.

But for Biology, they don’t care. Just maintain a decent GPA (I’ve heard above a 3.0 is fine, but someone on here said that a 3.5+ is best) and get as much research experience as possible. Publication is optimal and will get you into a very, very good school… but not necessary.

As for ajaku, I assume that if you’re worried about how UM looks to outside schools… well, like I said, it’s considered a Tier 1 (the best) school to medical schools. Don’t know about law or business, though. But, just for reference, we do have the #1 or #2 tax law program in the country! :)
