Will graduate schools in the United States and abroad accept an online college degree

[HogwartsSchool]

The thing to remember about grad school admissions is that your application is a package. It is unlikely that any ONE thing is going to keep you out. If you've got reasonable grades, recommendations, essays and good work experience, then what school you went to probably won't matter. However, if you have no experience, recommendations, etc... then you might need a great GPA from a good school to get you over the top.

In a less competitive situation, sure. But in a competitive enrollment situation like with Harvard Graduate School, one thing can make all the difference. If you're up against a bunch of people with Harvard degrees already (which you will be), or degrees from other top schools (which they'll have), and strong grades (which they'll have), but you show up with a degree from a low-tier school, you're highly unlikely to overtake the other applicants.

Harvard has a low acceptance rate. 3.2%, and that's down from it's previous 4%+ rate. I'm not saying give up hope, I'm just saying try not to get hopes up too high.

Harvard College has acceptance rate of 3.2%, however, the other graduate colleges are not 3.2%. Example, Harvard Graduate School of Education has around 35% acceptance rate; Harvard Graduate School of Design has round 17%; John F. Kennedy School of Government around 33%. There is a big difference between only thinking 3.2% vs 33%.
