Basically if you are a communications major that pulls a 4.0 at a state school you will have a better chance than the ivy league kid pulling something under a 3.5. However at a state school you are less likely to get a better score on your standardized graduate school test (LSAT, GMAT, MCAT) because you will be exposed to a much more rigorous curriculum and be bombarded with way more information, this is where the ivy league kid has the advantage.
You really think grad admissions thinks that a 4.0 at a state school is comparable to. A 3.5 from MIT, prestige is more than the name luminaries teach at these schools, there is more rigor. But ur studying business so
Yes, numbers and test scores are paramount to the grad school selection process.
numbers are important...but the 3.5 from MIT isn't getting past the screening level at top tier med schools....while the 4.0 is indeed going to get a 2nd look..
..for the most part...
also depends on your major
minority status.
research experience
gender.
etc.
