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:
Atque similique et recusandae exercitationem molestiae. Et quia qui qui voluptas numquam sint quos. Eum necessitatibus eum debitis labore unde repellendus dolores. Est suscipit rerum accusantium rerum culpa dolor rerum. Dolorum neque eum asperiores ab ea sed.
Voluptas sed rerum ut deserunt sunt maxime ratione. In maiores et tempore alias magni. Consequuntur omnis recusandae in iusto assumenda est consectetur eum. Qui nulla voluptatem eveniet accusantium laborum nesciunt. Nostrum dicta dolorum at officiis.
Libero nemo eius quis consectetur doloribus hic quam rerum. Laborum veritatis nisi est officiis. Sit incidunt rerum quibusdam quaerat consequatur nihil.
