For the overwhelming majority of careers, where you get your Bachelors degree does not matter. For a small number of careers, where you get your Bachelors degree matters very much. Some examples....top tier private equity, investment banking, working for the top 3 consulting firms (Bain, Boston Consulting, McKinsey) and high level corporate strategy. For some of these finance roles, going to a school like UVA, Texas or Michigan would open doors that LSU cannot. For pre med, do not chase undergraduate prestige. Get the highest GPA possible at LSU, move heaven & earth to shadow doctors somewhere and kill it on the MCAT.
