Ok I know most of you wouldn't know too much about the situation. However I am currently in my undergrad for pre-medical biology. I have been looking at med schools to goto. Now the Texas med schools rank somewhat high in the nation if you take out the ivy league ( which I personally think is a bunch of bs) UT ranks around 20 and Baylor ranks 24 in the nation. Now when I am done with med school I would like to do my internship in Texas I don't see myself living anywhere else. Working at Baylor or UT would get me used to the hospitals where there teach. As well as Texas having some of the best medical centers in the country. However, would it be worth it to go somewhere like UCLA or Duke just for the Degree, or is it better to go where you want to be. Because I see most medical schools as the same and a stepping stone to the area you want to work. With the exception of a few of course like John Hopkins.
In short, pay the ludicrous amount of money for a name or go with an area you love?
