Yea there are Ivy leaguers who started out at a CC but that isn't common so that point is nil. But I'd still take the lowest grade out of MIT over the highest grade out of many schools.Do you even read what you type? You would be kicked out of MIT if you had a 2.0 or be put on academic probation, if that. And to entertain that statement, seeing a 2.0 from MIT tells me that you weren't cut out for that school. Having a 4.0 from another school would have been a lot better outlook.
Again, you're stating the obvious and that's because the academic bar is set higher. You're grouping the 4.0's at the CC in with the 2.0's skewing the data. However, you will find students at Ivy Leagues who have graduated from a CC, because it's 'what you make of it' at the end of the day. You're just implying with this top talk, you will find Ivy graduates and researchers and other high-tier school graduates anywhere.
Yea my argument was never that you can't start at a bottom tier school and make it, my point was that you have a better shot of making it into top programs coming from a top tier school.
It's more common than you might think. And what do you mean by lowest? Earlier you said 2.0, are you still sticking with that number? By Ivy League standards low can mean anything that is not a 4.0.
Obviously you'll have a better shot, but it's not a 'given' has you were trying to state in your previous posts. You're in a classroom full of former valedictorians and school council presidents how would you not?
