Hi,
I've read the suggestions about creating an alternate transcript to try to offset a low undergrad gpa, but I would like to know whether taking a few undergrad classes at Columbia or NYU held any more clout with an admissions officer than taking them at CUNY Baruche or Hunter.
I graduated with a degree in econ from NYU with a low gpa and my concern is that an "A" from Baruche would not be viewed the same as an "A" from Columbia and that coupled with my low undergrad GPA may suggest (to an admissions officer) that I may not cut it at a top bus. school--as in (and not to be rude) I'm capable of doing well at a CUNY but not an NYU.
Is this all in my head?
Thanks!
