That was similar to my experience. If your parents weren't providing coaching for what constituted a "good" school or what might be a "good" major you were basically playing roulette.

Jokes on them, not even the state school wanted me because I was such a slacker in highschool. Working a dead end job, waking up after a year, and enrolling in community college was the best thing that could have happened to me.
