How important is undergraduate university?

Ah, I see. Thank you for the reply.

The thing is, I’m a senior in high school right now, and truth be told, I really didn’t put forth enough effort over the past couple of years. So, now I’m stressing over where I’m going to end up for my undergrad education.

Because I intend to put forth every bit of effort possible during the next four years, though, I really hope that the institution listed on my diploma won’t hinder my chances at getting into one of the top research medical schools (Harvard Med would be awesome, but coming from a “third-tier” university?), should I choose to apply.

Does anybody else have any knowledge or experience? Thanks in advance.
