Does one have to attend Ivy league undergrad school to be considered for their grad school?

Graduate School

<p>Basically, am I at fault for attending a lesser known state school (Mich state, osu) over better known schools? I aspire to go to a good grad school in a great city (not necessarily Ivies). Any kind of info you have, feel free to share :)</p>

<p>Not at all. I’m an undergrad at an ivy league school and many of my TFs (who are graduate students here) were undergrads at less conventionally prestigious places. Worry not! </p>

<p>One of my grad degrees was done at an “Ivy.” (I cringe typing that word!) My 2 best friends in my program had gone to OSU. Others had gone to LACs I’d never heard of such as Hendrix College.</p>

<p>Certainly not. I went to a non-Ivy undergrad and an Ivy for grad. In my grad program, there were people from Michigan State.</p>

<p>No, I’m currently at an Ivy League university for grad school and I didn’t go to one for undergrad. You’ll be just fine at Michigan State or OSU.</p>

<p>If you take a look at Columbia’s PhD classes in Math, you might start wondering where do all Columbia math majors go after graduation.</p>
