<p>Right, I still have time to fix my GPA to that point, I realize that’s what I need to get. </p>
<p>But, yeah a B at a high ranked school should be better, or ambiguously the same , at least, as an A at a low ranked school (not necessarily state schools, Michigan anyone?) It just makes sense, take the median student at both schools, they’re obviously very different. So your average student at a high ranked school, is probably at the least, just as good as one of the better students at a low ranked school, that’s all I’m saying.</p>
<p>And no, I’m sure they have no time to figure out which classes are hardest and where, but they can generalize, say maybe X many schools are deemed “harder” so they multiply their gpa by something or add a calculated factor to it, to make it fair. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of some schools having a GPA multiplier or something like that. </p>
<p>I think prestige is one of the reasons why those kinds of people get the interviews as opposed to people from a lower ranked school, by your estimation, isn’t that true then? If I were wrong about the inequality of GPA’s, then wouldn’t there be a pretty good mix of high ranked schools and lower ranked school applicants?</p>
