<p>Want to know what the trouble with that report is? No engineering focus. Getting into MBA is all about contacts, numbers and prestige–no doubt there. Medical school and Law school are mostly GPA LSAT and MCAT, and the fact is that the most of the Ivies, especially Harvard, have heavy inflation. </p>
<p>Look at PhD programs for sciences and engineering and you will see that this is not the case. </p>
<p>There is no way that Harvard is 3 times better than MIT, and, in the fashion that the article is presented, it suggests just that.</p>
<p>Lastly, of course undergraduate matters but the extent of the importance is what is being debated and that article is absolute trash at depicting the minor difference between a 4.0 at UT and a 4.0 at Cornell.</p>
