<p>Everyone knows a school like a UCLA or a Stanford is more prestigious than a school like UC Riverside but when it comes to graduate school or professional school applications how would you weigh an application from UCLA vs. UC Riverside? </p>
<p>If they have the same GPA it is really easy and you could give more credibly to the UCLA applicant.
But what about when the GPA is different?
It wouldn’t be fair to add extra points to the UCLA student just because he attended UCLA
See the issue?
For this reason the prestige of your undergrad university is not that important for medical school. A 4.0 at CSUF is a lot better than a 3.7 at UCLA. </p>
<p>High GPA + High MCAT is what matters. </p>
