grading systems from top vs lower ranked engineering schools

<p>Applicants from top undergrad schools get accepted with a lower gpa while applicants from lower ranked engineering schools get accepted with a higher gpa. It's kind of hard to word it, but my question basically is would a gpa in the 3.7-3.9 range from a lower ranked school be comparable to a gpa 3.4-3.6 from a higher ranked school?</p>
