<p>Of course you have a chance to gain admittance to a top-level engineering grad school from UConn. But of course it depends on your results (grades, references, contacts made, experiences). My primary concern for you would be that you not carry your air of superiority to UConn – a state-supported classroom, by the way. Your description of high school could be stretched to fit 80% of all high schools, and plenty of people make it work.</p>
<p>What’s done is done, but what isn’t isn’t, and you will need to apply yourself.</p>
<p>I’d also make sure that your planned course of study – business undergrad, engineering grad – is acceptable to grad schools. Maybe someone with an advanced engineering degree can chime in?</p>
