<p>I can think of two:</p>
<p>If you want to go into investment banking or management consulting, go to the most selective school you can.</p>
<p>If you want to go to graduate school right after college, go to the school where you’ll graduate with the least amount of debt.</p>
<p>Addition:</p>
<p>Look at postgrad surveys and also the specialty of the school. NYU may not be as selective as Emory but for business you would rather have Stern.</p>
<p>Also, raise your GPA as much as possible and avoid grade deflation schools if possible.</p>
<p>Avoid grade deflation schools if you’re going to professional schools. Graduate programs often take into account what a typical GPA is from your school when looking at your application.</p>
<p>
I presume by “graduate school” you mean professional schools like Law and Medicine. If you plan to go for a PhD, it is not that difficult to get a fellowship.</p>
