Don't do what I did kid lurkers and try your best, but also know that if you don't there are plenty of ways to climb out of your situation. My undergrad university isn't that bad, but is definitely not a top tier university (at least in EE undergrad). I focused more for undergrad and got into plenty of good (2 top 5, 3 top 20 out of 10 applications) grad schools with PhD stipend and tuition waivers. Don't worry about being in a small pond, focus on being the big fish of that pond and do whatever you can to reach your goal, legally and without cheating or whatever, and you will be fine. Don't let your short years in high school define or dictate the rest of your life.

You think the people who gave Lurie the Breakthrough Prize are also incompetent?

Hey guys which EE specialization between the following has the best job outlook for national lab work or industry R&D:

I like all of the options but can't find much info on which is the best path towards my goal
