From experience: if you drop out at 19, know that things can get seriously fucked up. Now I'm 21, and the startup I stopped out for for nine months went nowhere. It can also throw a wrench in your college experience.

Just...if you want to learn what I learned from it, it's this: learn tech in class, and don't bother with nearly anything else. Except IP law and corporate law, and if you seriously suck at writing, which it appears you don't, learn to write well.

Also, I have no idea how, as a practical matter, one goes about ignoring grades.
