Do graduate schools care about where one goes to school for undergraduate education?
Filed Under (grad schools) by admin
ZMcClean asked:


More specifically, if I go to UW-Madison and sustain good grades in my undergraduate would they be interested in me as a graduate student? Or is the fact that I went to UW-Madison for my undergraduate degree a detriment to me? From what I’ve been told schools don’t like to keep students in their school from undergraduate to graduate (M.S. or Ph.D.) and what I am wondering is whether or not this is true.

    I don’t know who told you that schools don’t like to hang on to you. That’s ridiculous. Schools want to retain their students because they get to keep taking your money. Also, you’re probably going to be more inclined to stay in the graduate program since you are already familiar with the school and their system.

    The same place for your resume what no other school would take you to stay in the same place for your undergraduate and doing so.
