I was wondering if you could elaborate on that network more. Is it just about having the same school as someone you're meeting, or is it more about personally knowing that person? Medicine (from what I've heard) is a pretty university-agnostic field, so would the network-effect be more like practice?

So they'll get opportunities, and help you get opportunities. Speaking primarily from my experience as a Comp Sci undergrad at Virginia Tech... I had good opportunities from my network on graduation. Which helped me grow my network even further when I got a job. I suspect if I went to MIT or something, that network would be even more substantive.
