It’ll be hard to convince people you’re too smart for college if you don’t know that, on average, Universities, being so much bigger, generally take more of the less qualified student population. Colleges, being smaller, tend to be more prestigious and can be much more picky about who they accept. In any case, you can get a very high quality education at either type of institution.
Anyway, it may seem like everything is so important now, in eleventh grade, and you will destroy your life if you don’t take the right courses. When you’re forty, I am nearly positive that you will look back, and realize that not only did high school not matter, but neither did the courses you took in college… ahem… university, or, for that matter, grad school.
Most people end up doing things that are a lot different from what they imagine in high school. Life tends to throw us all kinds of curves. It is a rare person who can visualize a life in high school, and make it happen as visualized.
My point is that these things really don’t matter. What’s important is educate yourself, and that can best be done in courses that really interest you. That way, you will work the hardest, and learn the most, and be most prepared for any opportunities that come along. If you swot away at the course that someone tells you are best for this or that, it’ll be harder, and it’ll be less likely that you do well, and your route towards your goals will become more circuitous.
