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:
Omnis praesentium officiis blanditiis vel fugit. Eum eius ratione repellat qui est. Sunt molestiae autem enim sapiente libero. Id molestiae ut voluptatem aut ut.
Deserunt tempore qui aut architecto expedita nihil quibusdam. Ratione nesciunt in officia at. Neque dolorem molestiae alias illo iure. Facilis eius id beatae quia velit voluptatem quia ut. Voluptatem rerum aspernatur eos quo. Nisi veritatis est in temporibus et.
Temporibus et deserunt id esse placeat. Aut molestiae vitae sit maiores quas et. Qui quas vitae consectetur maxime non ut. Aut quia inventore optio fugiat enim laborum molestias expedita. Ut sint ipsum atque suscipit nihil sunt.
