ok

i thought that

 

but then i see geohots and zukerberg doing these big things at the age of 18 and i start comparing

 

anyways thanks alot guys,my mind is alot clearer now so i can concentrate on admission process

If you're aiming to be the next geohot or Zukaberg and you're asking these questions, then you're not going to get far.  Don't despair though!  Not everyone can be those type of guys and most programmers are just normal people and lucky for programmers, everyone wants even the bad programmers.

I don't know exactly what field you want to get into (I think you were the one that said you wanted to do animation programming, I'm not sure) but if you're at the very least a competent programmer, you can pick and be choosy about what jobs you take. 

That said, if you're planning on going into game programming, you can't be choosy, or you can't be choosy for entry level jobs (once you get a fair amount of experience and a few shipped games you can then be choosy).  You're still on the right track, just when graduation starts getting close you're going to have an immense amount of work ahead of you.  You can't really start building your portfolio now, but definately have that in the back of your mind your entire college career.

yeah i wanna work with games as thats what i love and i don't mind slogging for it

its just that when i read about geohot and zukerbergs that they were big programmers even before they entered college,i started thinking do i have enough education to even apply for these couses and will i get anything taught in class and what should i know before going but now they are much clearer
