Colloquially, many English speakers would say "me." However, you should use "I."

She went to that school; I went to that school. She went to the same school as I [went to].

The language/grammar structure that the speakers of any language use is not dependent on silly ironclad errant grammar "rules", Ms Tan.

Setanta has opted to give you false information based on his not very extensive knowledge of the English language.

For him to tell you that you should use 'I' in this situation, which seems to be an informal one, is silly because it could make you sound like an pompous idiot.

The sentence implies:
"I know Jeremy's sister who used to go to the same school as I do."

It is not a good idea to accept any guidance from the sick mind of JTT.

Pretty silly assumption, Om, but that's your stock in trade.

Your posts on language and grammar have illustrated, abundantly, that you have little grasp of the workings of language. Why not just admit that you don't understand the grammar?

Because of your demonstrated mental disabilities, u cannot judge that, J.

I will not do that, because your allegations have merit only in your hallucinations.

Given that OmSig reflexively accepts all manner of silly prescription with respect to language, should we not assume that Dave probably also accepts Sequence of Tenses/Tense Concord [if he even knows what they mean] which puts him at variance with his own contention here.
