<p>You hear all about the stressful kids at HS trying to get to Ivy League. But what happens 4 years later when you apply to graduate? </p>
<p>I never really hear about the application process for graduation school. Is it the same GPA/Test Scores +EC's system application process like for high school?</p>
<p>Is it easier to get in to grad school if you went to a prestigious undergrad school? </p>
<p>Enlighten me please!</p>
<p>HSL probably isn’t the best place for it but…</p>
<p>Test scores are a very large factor for Law and Med school. GRE scores for Masters and PHD programs will typically be less important than those, but still important, and vary depending on what you want to do. GPA is less important for grad school than for admission to undergrad, but still important. Importance of ECs will vary hugely depending on what you want to do. School prestige isn’t much of a factor beyond recognizing a 3.5 from MIT isn’t the same as a 3.5 from Western Michigan.</p>
<p>Cool thanks for the info buddy.</p>
<p>But if undergrad prestige isn’t that important, then why is there so much fuss about getting into Ivy League undergrad? Theres got to be benefits!</p>
<p>Btw, Where would you post something like this? I’m sure a 2700 poster would know the in and outs of CC. Too much categories for me to handle</p>
<p>^What are you trying to imply? That Qwertykey has no life…</p>
<p>P.S. your implication is correct</p>
<p>Prestige isn’t that important with undergrad when you’re applying to grad school. HOWEVER, the environment you’re in, networking you achieve with students and faculty, the professors you have for courses and research, and the opportunities presented to you at each school is different. That is the difference between undergraduate schools.</p>
<p>Undergrad isn’t important. Grad school is. Which is the reason I think it would be a good idea to go to a liberal arts college, if your planning for grad school. In law and medicine yes GPA and test scores matters BIG TIME. Other grad schools not that much. You also need recommendation letters which is harder in college than in HS. Which is another reason I promote liberal arts college or smaller universities. You get a chance to know your teacher better. EC’s matter also. But, its much more different that undergrad admission.</p>

<p>“Opportunity” sounds interesting. Could you go a bit more in detail and give some examples on what you meaN?</p>
<p>Uhhh… Wow. </p>
<p>Whatever dude.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>I hope you know I’m kidding…</p>
<p>Or were you kidding also in the last post? </p>
<p>Awkward…</p>
<p>I certainly knew a lot less about CC when I had a mere 2,700 posts.</p>
