<p>Being the paranoid person that I am, a terrible thought occurred to me: a lot of the schools that I will be mournfully turning down this year for Princeton have stellar med schools that I will probably be applying for after undergrad. My question, will med school admissions hold it against you if you chose not to attend their undergrad instititon? yea, im pathetic... :(</p>
<p>No. Undergrad admission offices are entirely separate. The med schools won't even know.</p>
<p>thank you (char)</p>
<p>haha, that's great! </p>
<p>does anyone know if it's easier for princeton undergrads (than non-pton undergrads) to get into it's grad school?</p>
<p>Most people don't apply to the same university for graduate school. It's called academic inbreeding, and is heavily discouraged; it looks bad on your resume.</p>
<p>I'm a Princeton graduate student, and of all the other graduate students here that I know (which is a lot), I've never met one who was a Princeton undergrad. It's quite likely that most (if not all) departments won't allow it. Princeton wants its undergraduates going out to other universities for graduate school in order to help its reputation across the country. </p>
<p>The ONLY time I've heard of it happening at graduate schools in general is if you apply to another department for graduate school, or if you still have a year of eligibility left for sports.</p>
<p>Bezel is bang on target. When I was a Princeton undergrad and interested in staying at Princeton for grad school, I was told that basically, the department would not support my application because it would be bad for my career. Hard to hear, at first, but they were right.</p>
