<p>To be honest, it matters less what school you graduated from than how well you did there. If you’re going to some top notch school and graduated the bottom of your class, it shows that you were out of place. I see you that you have 40 hours of community service, that’s not enough even for Bright Futures. If your parents have the money to spend, it’s your choice, but if you’re borrowing to pay for college, I would go wherever it costs the least for you. A few of the employers I’ve talked to say they care less about your school and more about your GPA and most importantly, any work experience that you can show that you know what you’re doing.</p>
<p>And I absolutely mean no offense with this statement, but if you go to either of those schools, you might have to step it up and work harder in college. Those schools are more competitive, and it’s better to go to a less competitive school to have a higher rank and stats than to go to a more competitive school and end up with low stats. Going to less competitive school doesn’t tell the employer that you can’t handle a better school, there could be other reasons like financial reasons for going there. But if you have low stats from a top end school, it says that you can’t handle it. Or at least that’s what I was told by the employers I spoke to recently.</p>
