<p>I read the entire article/post and found it informative as well. thanks for posting it. i went to a Flagship state university undergrad and am a CFO. It is about the determination, networking and capabilities of the person that matter most unless one aspires to the Supreme court or Wall Street. I agree with whomever wrote to find a university where one can be challenged, yet perform well especially for pre-med and medical school. Important for a student to know him/herself and how to pick a university based on his/her personality, short and long term goals along with a host of other factors.</p>
