I personally never met a Wharton kid at any of my interviews, but that is obviously n=1 evidence.

GPA>>> perceived rigor
GPA>>>prestige

Nobody is going to spit in your face if you have a 3.9 in business and a MCAT score to back it up, regardless of your schools rep for rigor. That being said, you might get a little bit of a boost (assuming all things equal) over other applicants if you got that 3.9 at a rigorous school.

Get a good GPA, that is the goal. I wouldn’t trade my 4.0 at my less than highly regarded university for a 3.7 at any school.
