Decent school with a mediocre GPA, No-name school with an excellent GPA, who is the better candidate?
I know GPA is an essential element in postgrad applications, I'm just wondering if there are two candidates, one is from a prestigious uni but with a mediocre GPA and the other one from a no-name school but has an excellent GPA, which one is professors prefer?
Specifically, now I'm choosing where to take my bachelor's and I have two choices (Bocconi and Waseda), which I posted before. I've heard of the competition at Bocconi is fierce and you can hardly get a GPA higher than 28/30 (converts to final grade 106/110), especially for non-italian. In Waseda, I can easily get an A/A+ and there is nearly no competition.
My final goal is to take an Econ/Stats PhD in the U.K(Oxbridge), and their lowest requirement for Italian applicants is 106/110.
Perspective from a Brit (LSE/Imperial/UCL UG, Oxbridge PG):
Appreciate for your advices, really helpful, but I still have some concerns as follows:
A few points:
Quibusdam consequuntur aspernatur ullam omnis debitis doloremque maxime. Quo doloremque ut error odio eius. Deleniti qui praesentium nobis quaerat ipsa autem vitae.
Qui minus illum dolores iusto officia. Cumque nam minima fugit voluptas non pariatur. Sed praesentium ut fuga voluptatem molestiae voluptatem quae aliquid.
