Ya know, people say that a lot wrt non-medical careers, but it has always kinda bothered me because it's impossible to prove or disprove. It just makes sense to people that since it's Harvard, it has to give some sort of additional advantage. And I just struggle to believe that.Many people would give a kidney to go to Harvard.
I think this is the one school on the list that COULD be worth paying more, at least if they had any entrepreneurial aspirations.
Then again, the most popular doc online nowadays is a DO family med x]
But even more so, it overestimates the amount of people who go into medicine and choose to do something other than medicine. The vast majority of medical students will go on to become residents, who will then go on to become attendings in an academic, community, or private practice setting. Then a small subset will choose to pursue non-medical endeavors. Is that small likelihood worth taking on much more debt to choose Harvard, esp when we don't even know if it actually helps?
I personally don't think so, but you're right that a lot of folks would sell a kidney to get into Harvard, so I'm sure any bit of justification is helpful in that case lol
