My daughter went to accredited schools that are considered much lesser schools than her friends. So did I. We both have done well and in both cases, did better than most of our peers in the same occupation with degrees from much more prestigious universities. My daughter's employer was concerned about her ability to pass her boards (due to her "lesser" school), but she scored much higher than all of her ivy league peers, many whom work for her now. It was much the same for me and I went to a much maligned school for my undergrad while working full time (and two part time jobs simultaneously). In most jobs, an accredited degree will take you as far as your willingness to work hard lets you. One critical thing is that if you want to go on to a good grad school, it pays to keep your grades high. Otherwise, for most, a C is about as good as an A (as long as you learn what you need to know). The bottom grad from med school is called the same thing as the top grad. Doctor.
