Is it better to have a lower gpa from an ivy league or a higher GPA from a non-ivy?

<p>Well, let’s share anecdotes! I have a relative (not a cousin though), who had a sub 3.0 GPA, took 12 years to get a bachelors degree (which actually included flunking out of college twice), and never had ONE internship. Somehow he secured an excellent job (which he had before graduation) and is a well regarded engineer in his field and a project manager.</p>
