the 55 yo would have prolly gone to the same prestige institutions had she been the age of the former due to those places not recruiting as much until the 1980s.
go with doc b.

If they have the same specialty, honestly I would pick the one with the less prestigious pedigree because it means that person was more successful out of school because of having to fight against the "stain" of less prestige.
It's for this reason that I'll always opt for a DO over an MD, ceteris paribus. The DO will have overcome anti-DO flame to have achieved the MD's same position, meaning the MD did better on the MCAT and had a better undergrad GPA, but the DO probably outscored the MD on all the stuff that really matters to get an equally good residency/fellowship and position after residency/fellowship (COMLEX, step 1, step 2, step 3, impressed the attendings/recommenders to ignore the DO degree, whatever).
