How will messing up my first year in college (2003) affect getting into grad school?

Thanks for your response. I am going to apply to 12 schools like I mentioned even if that’s a little over kill. I guess I’m just wondering what I should do if I get into a masters program at a more well known school and a phd at a lesser known school…I suppose it will all come down to funding. I know people say it doesn’t always guarantee you a job (I’m in the humanities) if you get your degree from a Ivy League or top ten school but I can’t help but notice that all of the schools I’ve researched and my current school, all the tenure track professors come from said ivy/top ten schools. Doesn’t leave much hope for the rest of us…
