<p>Thank you for the responses! I was mostly curious about the GPA required to get into grad schools (graduating from MIT). In your opinion, is a 4.0/5.0 GPA hard to pull off at MIT? I understand that it depends on a big variety of factors, like major, work load, outside activities, etc., but could you generalize??</p>
<p>And by the way, I was in no way insinuating that HYPSM are the only good grad schools in this country. People often see those schools strung together and immediately react negatively because of the “elite” connotation we’ve all gotten used to, but I was definitely not inferring those are the only schools worth getting into for grad school. I listed them to give an example of the academic level I was talking about.</p>
