<p>I have many friends that have gone to not very prestigious schools for undergrad, schools that for sure are not as good as CU, and ended up in Penn, Columbia, Harvard etc. for grad school. Now these were very bright people that had great gpa’s and great gre test scores. Although I’m sure it’s probably easier to get in from a prestigious school, if you gpa and gre are high you’ll get into a top program.</p>
