<p>Undergrad according to my sister, is not that big of a deal. She said that it matters where you go to school, but it’s not as important as people make it. What really is important is doing well in undergrad so that you can get into a top grad school because those are the ones with the best research. Of course if you go to a school like Harvard for undergrad then that is kind of a big deal, but if you go to a 3rd tier school that is fine too. My friend knew a guy who went to Stanford that is now homeless.</p>
