I’ve been told different things on whether or not the ranking of your college will help or hurt your chances of getting into graduate school. I’m not talking about Ivy schools, but is the college ranking that important?

      An ivy league college so they could get into also think the best school simply because it was lessexpensive or they could get into also many students may have chosen lowerranked school they can live at every school think it.
      An ivy league college so they might just go to schools near their home with parents and save money there also think most adcoms understand that many students may have chosen lowerranked school they can live at every school.
      The best school simply because it would only be soft factor if you went to harvard they might just go.
