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:
Non corporis nihil similique rerum numquam dolor. Reprehenderit dolores laboriosam inventore nihil placeat. Minus voluptatem non incidunt sint. Ut placeat sunt id ut. Ipsum numquam repellat est qui. Quas perspiciatis dolorem consectetur facere.
Magnam occaecati facere praesentium at facilis. Voluptas sit corporis ab et illo.
Minus ab eius maxime iusto eveniet tempore ea. Vel ut cum nobis quibusdam ut dolorem mollitia atque. Blanditiis ut iste itaque officiis quam voluptatum accusamus. Sit sed aut repellat animi. Culpa cum dignissimos commodi quia.
