This may sound ridiculous but… I’m currently a senior in HS and did not get into my various first choices of schools, so now I’ve basically decided on either San Diego State or a community college (then transfer to a more prestigious school). However, the only reason I’m considering a JC is because I’ve heard and I figure that if I transfer to a better school after the JC it will make it easier and give me a better chance of getting into a good school for whatever graduate school I may choose. I really do want to go to SDSU and get away from home and get the “college experience” but I’m just worried that it will be more difficult for me to get into a good grad. school when they could be choosing graduates from better schools over me that may have slightly lower academic merits. I know I have to work my hardest in college, but could anyone shed some light on my situation? Should I even be worried?
