<p>I don’t think a generalization can be made. Whether you attend a big U or an LAC should have most to do with where you would feel most comfortable and what schools best meet your needs and interests. Beyond that you could research the stats of various undergrad schools to see the success rates for admittance to your preferred kind of professional school. E.g., you might be attracted to NYU Stern and see that it has above-average acceptance rates to your favorite MBA school, or that Pomona grads do well getting into med school (I made these up as examples).</p>
