"BS or MS in this degree or equivalent with high GPA, or graduated from top school"

what does this mean? "BS or MS in this degree or equivalent with high GPA, or graduated from top school"

Are they saying the guy needs to be from a top school or have a good gpa? Does that comma make a difference?

Yes. CJ is right, even if I were unsure about the context, I am sure that universities ranking is a factor of admission even you haven't very good GPA.
