<p>Hi I currently attend St. John's University in NY - private catholic institution and I am on a 3.6k scholarship each semester. I am going to finish my freshmen year after the second semester this year and I have a 3.6 GPA. I was wondering how would graduate schools or future employers value this over someone with a lets say 3.4 from better schools?</p>
<p>Nobody…?</p>
<p>If I’m correct, St. John’s is a tier 1 university. It’s private, it’s catholic, and it’s on the east coast–you have those three things going for you. But, what I’m getting at, just as long as your school isn’t the University of Phoenix/Kaplan/DeVry, most employers really don’t care where you went to school just as long as you got decent grades. There may be a slight advantage for someone who graduated from an ivy/ivy-peer or regionally prestigious school, but it’s negligible. (But I would suspect St. John’s is regionally prestigious if you want to work in New York.)</p>
