Is Undergrad Really That Important?

<p>The reality is that once a student attends mediocre university, they are surrounded by lackluster students and they fail to fail to step up to the higher expectations of medical school.</p>

<p>Not sure what colleges you are calling “mediocre”, but a med school applicant who has a 4.0 from LSU is not likely going to “fail to step up” in med school.</p>

<p>That student’s LSU premed classmates (the ones who made it thru weeding) are not going to be lackluster…at all. </p>

<p>If you’re a prof, then you should know better. If that’s just some phony screen-name, then it’s understandable. </p>
