Going to a no-name high school. Am I doomed?

<p>000Chet, you mean I still have a chance to work there?!?! I thought I’d be doomed to work for my local gas station. Good to know that I still have a chance to work at a nationally recognized place!</p>

<p>But really, OP, no one, not even the adcoms, care about where you go to school. They care about what YOU do.</p>

MIT a couple of years ago, and like 5 Naval Academy appointments in the past 10 years. Also, UVa, but that’s in-state for me so it’s not quite as hard as OOS (we had like 5-10 this past year).</p>
