<p>If you are planning to go to law school…plan to get the highest GPA possible…and plan to do well on the LSAT. </p>
<p>If you are planning to go to medical school…plan to get the highest GPA possible and plan to do well on the MCATs. </p>
<p>In both cases…there are PLENTY of students who did the above at schools that were NOT top undergrad schools and got accepted at law and medical schools…and to some mighty fine programs.</p>
<p>And in both cases…remember that your professional school debt will be staggering so you will want to try to keep your undergrad debt as LOW (or nonexistant) as possible.</p>
<p>I’m sorry…but the key to success is NOT necessarily attending a top school. Yes…these are fine schools, but they are not the be all…end all in undergraduate education.</p>
