Psycho Doctor said:Yea, i was going to say the same thing. A 3.3 at a state school is probably better than a 3.3 at Harvard, Princeton or Yale b/c everyone knows there is grade inflation at those 3 schools.
Unfortunately for people who do go to those state schools, adcoms dont look at it that way. Why do you think so many (relative to their size) from the Ivies and similar competitive schools are accepted?
Yeah these types of schools could be looking out for each other (something like a good ol' boys pact to protect all students attending these schools accused of grade inflation.
And besides, I have heard that Harvard is not as easy as many people would like to believe.
