If you have good preparation in H.S., you're golden. I went to an academically demanding public H.S., a second-tier public university, and I sailed through. Grad school was likewise no problem. IMO, it often comes down to writing, the ability to research information, and work ethic.
I was stunned when colleagues at work told me that their professors did not require papers in their undergraduate courses.
I had to write at least one or two papers for every single undergraduate course. In grad school, I had to produce 60 pages on ten different topics (with footnotes!) within the first month.
IMO, where you go (either H.S. or college)
does make a difference.
