That isn’t entirely true. Graduate does look at the school you went and they can tell how competitive/rigorous your program is. My major was pretty tough as well with only 8-10 students graduating a year, but the even the “top” student in it (GPA was around 3.4-3.5) got somewhere good. Your research experience will definitely help, but I don’t see how taking community colleges course or online courses after graduating will help. If anything at all, it makes you look worst…
