Better school or better grades?

Both employers and graduate schools know how to take both factors into consideration… and neither will be as important as other factors, such as internships/extracurriculars/research experiences. That being said, there are two schools of thought on the subject, but here’s my take: go where you can make good grades and still have time for friends, family, fun, and extras, like part-time jobs or special undergraduate work. There’s no sense in stressing out over (possibly overrated) academics to the detriment of the rest of the college experience.
