Importance of High School Ranking??

<p>is it better to have higher GPA in not so good high school or</p>

<p>get a little bit lower GPA in a high school with high reputation??</p>

<p>what would be more beneficial when you apply for a college?? </p>

<p>(especially U of I..)</p>

<p>Everytime I’ve talked to an admissions counselor, I always hear the same thing. Nearly everyone applying to UIUC has a good or excellent GPA…and when the number of applicants reaches over 16,000…GPA is never really the deciding factor (unless you have a bad one).</p>
