It would be interesting to compare the trajectories of the bottom 5% of Harvard grads with the top 5% of UMass grads.

As a thought exercise, you can ask yourself: would you prefer that your doctor be from the former or the latter group?

Definitely the latter. Bottom 5% of Harvard are likely legacies with little motivation - and unlikely to get into medical school.
