AWESOME GRADES FROM SO-SO SCHOOL OR SO-SO GRADES FROM AWESOME SCHOOL?

what's the best? see i was thinking if i choose a school like UCLA (good repuation right?) but since everyone's so smart there i'd get so-so grades, or is it better to choose a so-so school where i'd get the best grades?? like lets say i want to becom a doctor, what would be best? do they look at your grades, or where you got your degree, or both? does anyone know??

Go to the school that suits you best. If you go to a great school but don't feel good there, you won't get much out of it. I could have gone to an ivy league school, based on my SAT scores and grades, but I didn't. I went to University of Northern Colorado. I couldn't have made a better decision. I got so much out of it, though pregnancy kept me from finishing (morning sickness in the middle of classes made things tough). I met some amazing people, including award winning authors. My professors were generally very good. One was even a Baron. I think I would have been miserable in a stuffy ivy league school, and I wouldn't have really learned anything.
So, if possible,go to the schools. Visit with professors in your desired field, walk around the campus, get a feel for the schools. If you can't visit the schools, call them and ask questions about things that are important to you, look at their websites and brochures and look up reviews of the schools. Go to the one you think will give you the best experience. You will have more fun, learn more, and get better grades. Also, don't be intimidated by the big schools like UCLA. To me, most didn't suit my personality (or my budget, for that matter). They may be just what you want. And if they do suit you, you will find that you will do well. The people you think are smarter than you may very well not be, or they will challenge you to push your own limits and do better.
