So, I'm not at all planning on going to grad school, and my GPA is less than impressive, so I'm probably not the best person to answer this, because I don't have the *actual* information. But anecdotally, I know lots of people here who get into awesome grad schools. Maybe they're all just geniuses, or maybe part of it has to do with the fact that they were planning to go to grad school, so they worked hard to get their GPA up.

Again, I don't have the real facts on this, but I do know that getting into a good grad school after MIT is certainly possible, and I know lots and lots of people who have done it. It's not *easy* and you're going to have to work hard to keep your GPA up, but it's certainly not like Harvard and Berkley are like "Man, those MIT grads have these awful GPAs, they must all be really dumb, we never take any of them!" *grin*
