A C at a prestigious university is the equivalent of an A at a state school

Hey guys,

I feel like dropping some knowledge here for college applicants who want to become lawyers(from Harvard, Yale, etc..) and doctors.

DO NOT GO TO A PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY. I originally went to Tufts with the goal of becoming a doctor and l had a C average in my premed classes and 2.93 overall. Be mindful, l was near the top (3/750) of my high school class and a 2240 on the SAT. I dropped out and enrolled at Rutgers Newark and had 4.0. I changed my mind and ended up going to a top law school. I recently ran into someone l knew from Tufts who told me about how hard it was to get into medical school after graduating less than a 3.0.

Please, do not do this to yourself. Go to your state school and save yourself the aggravation. NO ONE CARES WHERE YOU WENT TO UNDERGRAD IF YOU ARE APPLYING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL OR LAW SCHOOL.

Some people will get upset, but l have taken courses at NJIT (during the ummer terms) and Rutgers Newark and you cannot compare them to Tufts.

****If you want to argue with me answer this question: why do premeds from prestigious universities take their premed courses at their local state universities?
