<p>From what I can tell, top school grad school admissions are predicated on test scores (GMAT, LSAT, MCAT or GRE), professor or supervisor recommendations, and of course GPA.</p>
<p>How do you go about selecting an undergrad school that can propel you to the best grad school that you can attain? I know that colleges flaunt all the data about where their graduates go. The problem is that you may not be the lucky one who made that cut.</p>
<p>So I'm back to the perennial question. Are you better off going to the most competitive undergrad program that you can get into ... or to a lesser program where you can possibly be the top dog? Assume that you'll work hard and do your best with a projected GPA of 3.4 at a top school or a 3.9 at a lesser school.</p>
