Where you get your undergraduate matters?

Hey,

Does it matter where I get my undergraduate or is the GPA the only thing they look at? 😕
Thanks,
Kevin

It matters, but not as much as some people would like...

It matters for the very top school, but as drizzt said, not as much as people would like. You may get slightly more leeway with your GPA if you come from schools known to have very harsh curves (e.g, UPENN) but 3.7 from state U is still better than 3.2 from an ivy.

Do well at your institution and it really shouldn't have much of an effect on the admissions process.
