Rigor matters. It’s easy to demonstrate rigor at a top school. You may have to work at it if you’re at a lesser school, but if you can demonstrate rigor then that will be viewed favorably regardless of the school.

Back when Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were roommates at Harvard, anyone from Milton Academy and some other known feeders who wanted to go to Harvard was able to do so. Over the years, that has become less and less the case to the point where it hardly matters. Today, rigor matters.
