does a 3.8 from harvard indicate better potential than a 3.95 from Minnesota? of course. did it require more effort? no, not necessarily.

Yes. It opens more doors.

the idea of requiring more effort is totally irrelevent, of course you could have someone who went to harvard and got all A's except for the occasional B without studying and a kid who was less capable and worked his ass off to get straight A's at minnesota. effort doesn't mean anything because different people have different levels of required effort to do the same work
