I got into University of Maryland, Purdue, Georgia Tech, and University of Texas, Austin.

I guess I should have added "for a successful startup." Also, if you can tell me how it matters for the comp. science field in general, I would appreciate it.

Hey guys,

I am 17 and I posted this because I received my admissions letters this week. I got full rides to every state college I applied but I got wait listed at Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Caltech. I really don't know how to think of this. Can I still start a successful startup? Can I still be more successful than an MIT undergrad? Is there something about these colleges that makes students there better or is it completely dependent on the student's personality, work ethics, etc.. to be successful?

Sorry if the question seems out of whack. I am probably overwhelmed right now by the admissions letters.
