[quote=Anonymous]Perspective From Current and Former Grad Admissions Officers

While graduate schools do consider the quality of a candidate's college when they evaluate his or her college transcripts, the primary objective is identifying and recruiting talented and motivated individuals who would thrive in a grad program, admissions officers say. Grad schools are usually less concerned about what college a candidate attended....

"An applicant doesn't have to have attended the most prestigious institution," says Kelly Wilson, the executive director of masters admissions with Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business. "They need to demonstrate academic success relative to the institution they're attending. ... In our program, we have a variety of undergraduate institutions represented."

Wilson says she prefers to admit prospective students who distinguished themselves at whatever undergraduate institutions they attended and who had a meaningful positive impact on those institutions. Another aspect Wilson looks for in someone's academic background is a history of completing rigorous courses, she says. While she evaluates the college grades of grad school candidates who attended colleges that are known to have high academic standards and tough grading systems, she will account for this when she judges their academic performance, she adds.[/quote]
