Where are prestigious and exensive schools worth?

If @austinmshauri is correct and you already have a bs in biology, why don’t you ask questions that actually pertain to what you want to know vs having posters respond like you are going to be entering college as a freshman?

FWIW, my ds is a chemE from a no name school who graduated with honors, 12 months of co-op experience as well UG research with international presentations. He has worked alongside grads from UM, Purdue, Berkeley, as well Bama, NCSU, VT, etc. Basically people from all over the place. His career path forward has been based on absolutely nothing other than job performance at this point and he has received numerous promotions.

But, the path of someone with just a bs in bio is a rough road. Many end up with just doing the job of a lab tech especially if they didn’t have some sort of career building experience in addition to their diploma.
