I second that.

And, I would always choose public school over private.

I would prefer a dr from OU vs. Harvard. I believe the OU graduate would have better bedside manner and would care more about my health. If all someone really cared about was helping people they wouldn't care where they went to learn how - they would just want to help. You never know what your getting with a Harvard grad, they're likely to be pompus. Could be wrong, but I would still choose OU.
