<p>It is, but it is at any school. I think the whole difficulty aspect is overblown (mostly by GT students). When you compare similar schools (say GT and UIUC), the same effort by the same student isn’t going to vary by more than +/- 0.1, which is inconsequential unless it forces you down a major cut (3.05 to 2.95, for instance). </p>
<p>On the other hand, when you drop down in the quality of the school, that is a different situation. It is easier for a student to be in the top 10% of the class at Armstrong Atlantic State University than at Georgia Tech. That’s why graduate schools and employers consider both your GPA and the school you attended when making decisions.</p>
