Do your homework and get good grades. It sucks, but I'm the only person I know who was like me that pushed to the top. Compete to win, try your best, and work hard. I went to a junior college before I got into UIUC, then from there I have two amazing job offers (better than Google), that's because I worked hard and blew away people with my work. If you do decide to blow stuff off, or did, it's not too late. Push as hard as you can now. If you do it through school that works (best), and if you do it on your own you have to be disciplined. Make goals and accomplish them, and in college you have to push yourself to the top.
