<p>For grad school admissions, is it better to go to a top school (HYPSM) and get a low GPA or go to a good school (cornell, upenn(not Wharton), dartmouth..) and get a higher GPA?</p>
<p>I'd call your "good" schools, top schools, but that is just me...</p>
<p>Uhmm yeah, if you get a ****ty GPA at Harvard I doubt your GPA will be great at your "Good" schools.</p>
<p>thanks for your thoughts...any other opinions?</p>
<p>Your GPA is not going to be markedly different at these very similar institutions. Go to the place you like best.</p>
<p>your good schools are prestigious schools.
also some of your schools in the first groups are known to inflate gpas.</p>
<p>Haha, its way harder to get a good GPA at Cornell or UPenn then HYP</p>
<p>Definitely go to a "top" school because it's easier to get higher GPAs there. Plus, they're better (except for HYP vs. Cornell in engineering, and random stuff like that). Mind you, they're all excellent schools.</p>
