It varies depending on the field but what matters more than university popularity is how you spend your time at said university.

I'm a CS student from a very small university myself (so apologies if this doesn't translate well for you), and I know several smart people from very small universities whose contributions to open source software, personal projects, and connections within the startup community and various other factors really pushed them ahead.

So spending time meeting people with similar interests and pursuing meaningful things in university is essential to your experience there.

Thanks, that helped quite a bit! I’m guessing the difference between CS and my situation would be that I should spend more time doing research and studying than worrying about the “name”.

Yes, and I might sound naïve here but if medicine is truly your passion and you’re willing to go to any length to make sure you contribute positively to the medical community, then you won't regret your time there.

Have fun in university, and good luck with your studies. We’ll be rooting for you. :)
