<p>It may really depend on the Ivy. Harvard is infamous for grade inflation, so i would guess that a high GPA from Harvard wouldn’t necessarily carry more weight than anywhere else. On the other hand (and correct me if I’m worng), Princeton tends to grad harshly, so a high GPA from there would prbably carry a lot of weight. GRE scores are standardized, so I believe they’re pretty much looked at the same. But these observations apply to any known school, not just Ivies.</p>
<p>Grad schools really don’t take people on stats alone. They’ll evaluate you as a whole (providing your stats are high enough to qualify for the first cut). I don’t necessarily believe extra points are given to Ivy grads.</p>
<p>Also, while you would think it would be easier to get into, as the example said, Kennedy from Harvard, that’s not necessarily true. The top grad schools sometimes get kitchy about what they see as an inbred education. On the other hand, if you’re steller, they won’t care. Of course, that’s the case anywhere.</p>
<p>Now I’ve ended up taking in circles :)</p>
