I (19) just finished high school with abysmal grades ( 77% ) due to lack of guidance and me just being lazy all the time. I completely agree that it was my mistake to not study hard and now I am willing to work as hard as it is required to get my life back on track.

I am joining a Tier-2/ Tier-3 university this August and am going to major in Computer Science. From what I have learned online, this university is just 8-9 years old and no good companies come to the placement cell to interview students. So just to get a head start, I have learned Python, HTML and am learning C++. I am also taking 2 courses from MIT-OCW on the Introduction to CS and am looking forward to do some cool projects this summer.

I read online that one of the most efficient ways to get a job at the "big 4" is to perform extremely well in online programming competitions and in order to get into an excellent grad school, grades, internships, letters of recommendations, research, GMAT-GRE, etc all come into play. So I am just confused as to what should I focus my energy on.

Question: Should I ( Or any other Tier-3 student ) focus on getting a job at a top-notch company ( Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc ) or focus on getting into an excellent grad school after undergrad?

Thank you.
