<p>LLaKHigH. You most certainly can get into a top graduate program coming from a less known program. I had a professor who got his B.S. from the University of Toledo, for instance, and then did Applied Math at Cornell and Princeton for graduate school. Some concept goes for engineering. I work with other graduate students here who came from all sorts of random schools, including several from MIT and Berkeley and the likes and others from Alabama-Huntsville. As long as you work hard and prove that you can succeed, you can get into a top school.</p>
<p>Plus, from everything I have heard, Buffalo has a perfectly respectable program.</p>
