What does a big-name school do for you?

<p>I don’t care about prestige, but Dartmouth just clicks. Tufts clicks the same way, but a little less. And, Cornell clicks even less because it is such a large school. The Ivy League label means absolutely nothing to me. Honestly, if I liked Rutgers, the NJ state university, I’d go there, but I don’t.</p>

<p>I guess I should clarify a bit more. If two people, one studying at Dartmouth and another at Rutgers, have the same grades and GPAs, which is more likely to get accepted to a respectable medical school? The Dartmouth student or the Rutgers student?</p>
