<p>Hello.</p>

<p>I'm currently a fourth-year undergraduate at the B P Poddar Institute of Managment and Technology, studying Computer Science and Engineering. I've recently taken the GRE, and it stands at around 785 Verbal, 780 Quantitative and 6 on written. My GPA is currently around 9.2 (Indian System).</p>

<p>Since my college's pretty unknown to the rest of the world, I was wondering if I could enter the University of Florida, Gainesville for a grad degree.</p>

<p>Please let me know, I was quite under the impression that the undergrad school doesn't matter as long as I do well on my exams.</p>

<p>Edit: My ECs are by all standards, quite fine.</p>

<p>it doesn’t matter where you went for undergrad…you’re application can be strong if you’ve contributed significantly to your community. This can be displayed by your research capabilities, and leadership skills. So even if your school isn’t well known, you can practically apply anywhere if your standardized test scores are competitive. On matters of scholarship, I do agree that undergrad hardness is measured…so I guess adcoms would be more knowledgable of common universities than uncommon ones.</p>
