<p>Back in the last century when I was in grad school at one of those universities that cause people to slam on their brakes if they drive past you while you are wearing the sweatshirt, many of the students in my department were graduates of colleges and universities whose names do not appear here at CC. Likewise for the departments that my housemates were studying in.</p>
<p>Graduate school admissions is all about (not necessarily in this order):
overall undergrad GPA
GPA in coursework related to the graduate field of study
GRE/GMAT/MCAT/LSAT/etc. exam scores
work/internship/research/publications in areas related to the graduate field of study
Letters of Recommendation from your former professors and (especially for an MBA) former work supervisors
your own written statement of purpose</p>
