[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a professor, when I look at grad school apps (which I receive filtered already for our GPA/score cut-offs), I would say there are roughly a group of 50 National Universities and 50 LACs that overlap but don't fully match the USNWR rankings that I treat mentally equivalent in terms of knowing the schools select strong students, the quality of education students received has prepared them well and that a high GPA from their school is meaningful.  When I get an application outside those schools, I don't discount it, but I dig into other aspects of the application with greater scrutiny to get a read on academic preparation.

Likely my list of top colleges differs from that of entry-level employers as we are looking for different things.[/quote]

What is interesting to me about this is that it basically argues a case for if one isn’t going to HYPS, then go to the state uni (assuming it’s a top 50 in your state) or any uni in the 30-50 range where it is probably a lot easier to graduate with a high GPA than say Wash U. [/quote]
