[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep reading that where you go to college doesn’t matter for jobs. If that’s the case why would anyone bend over backwards to get into a good college?[/quote]

Some kids don't bend over backwards to get into a top college.  Some just do what they do and naturally do well and get into good colleges, not because that's what they're tyring to do or building a resume for college, but because they are truly super smart and into whatever passion EC they have and they would do these things even if there were no such thing as college.

And college isn't just a stepping stone to life.  College is life too. Some kids want to be around other highly motivated and smart and involved kids/professors/etc.  That's where they thrive.  Some kids actually really enjoy learning tons of stuff and doing tons of stuff.

If you feel you have to "bend over backwards" to get into a good college, then find another college that is a better fit.  I would work hard but not kill yourself just to get to the next step.
