[quote=Anonymous]I had an ROTC scholarship and got some aid from a state flagship in the South. I worked hard to get excellent grades and in addition to ROTC, had numerous ECs and a prestigious-looking part time job. I transferred after a year to one of the SLACs everyone on here drools about. Two of my friends from high school went to CC, then to state flagship and on to very successful law careers. The key is being at or near the top of the class when you apply to transfer. Cream does rise. Focus and diligence will take you further than you may now think. The resentment you feel is not abnormal at your age/in your situation. The ability to both get into and pay for a prestigious college is not as common as you may think. Don't let prestige or politics weigh too heavily in your thinking right now. [/quote]
