How could I get a Silicon Valley offer being from a no-name state school? (Michigan)

<p>Thanks for the replies</p>

<p>Question: What happens to the CS students who graduate from no-name colleges, get mediocre grades (<3.5), and are unable to get internships from prestigious companies? I’m a sophomore trying to get internships at companies like Texas Instruments and IBM, but it seems that most of the kids from top unis get the offers. I’m sort of in a dead end situation.</p>

<p>I didn’t realize what college you went to would impact your future career.</p>
