I just had a question/issue that I would like resolved, at least to some degree. And, I figure since you attended two of the elite schools that interest me, you may be the best source to receive the answer from. What my question regards is stated in the title. The question is, How much does going to a not-so elite school effect admission to schools like HBS and Wharton? For example, I go to the University of Iowa, so would these hurt me a little or is it common to see people from public schools such as Iowa at HBS and Wharton? I have considered transferring to schools like UCLA, USC, and Georgia Tech. The only thing limiting my ability to transfer to better schools is that my first-year GPA is pulling down everything and making my shot at Ivies and other elite undergrad schools seem rather bleak. I may be worrying too much about it, but is it a big factor or not? I would assume I still have a chance even if I stay at Iowa, but I am just worried about how much of a chance I may have.

More important than what school you're attending is what GPA you're pulling. If you're not pulling a decent GPA, that's where your focus should be.
To more explicitly answer your question, there are definitely students at HBS, Wharton etc. from public schools. I attend Michigan State for undergrad, not exactly the cream in the undergrad realm, and am now an HBS alum. That said, there weren't too many of us Spartans running around on campus -- I was the only one on in my class. But there were plenty from other public schools. I'd definitely keep my focus on performing well at Iowa rather than trying to jump ship.

I have already made good progress on that.... I should end up in the 3.45-3.60 range after a 1st semester of 2.44 and 1st year of 2.88. And, well the fact that you went to MSU makes me feel a little better at least. Big Ten schools, with the exception of Michigan for the most part, are usually pretty good, but not on par with the elites like Berkeley and the Ivies. If you don't mind me asking, what GPA range were you in at Michigan State?
