Yeah, that's what I was (a bit) worried about. I just don't want to be passed up for an offer, (or something similar) simply because I went to a smaller school.

Hopefully the graduate degree matters more in my case.
- GrumpyYoungMan 5y agoFrom the small bit I know about non-medical graduate admissions, the rigor of the program is a factor in graduate admissions but it only matters when comparing a candidate with good grades from a weak program and a candidate with equally good grades from a strong program. Again, it's all about the student and how well they can prove they learned the material, not about prestige. If you really want a more in-depth answer to your question, go to https://academia.stackexchange.com/ https://academia.stackexchange.com/ and see what practicing academics say; this sort of question has surely been asked and answered many times. (I'd dig up some links for you but, not to be unkind, the very first thing you'd better get used to if you hope to reach graduate school is finding stuff out on your own given some hints.)
- HDMI_Cable 5y agoOh yeah of course, you've already done quite a bit by answering, thanks. I now realize I probably could have looked there first, but quite honestly I only ever go onto StackOverflow.
- GrumpyYoungMan 5y agoNo worries; good luck to you.
