does the name of college really not matter in admissions?

<p>So the next question is, if you go to a school with a lesser reputation, will you get a better GPA than going to a school with a better rep? Or will it be the same? Let’s take a hypothetical: someone gets into umass and Harvard. They get 4.0 at umass; what would the GPA be at Harvard? is a 4.0 student going to be 4.0 no matter where they go? Of course there is no definative answer, butnAi am interested in what people think?</p>
