Should a programmer strive to enter the university of his "dream"?

Question

IT education

I’ll be brief, I entered in 2017, studied for 2 years at the Faculty of Law in Moscow, in the process of learning I realized how much I didn’t like all this, but I decided to leave only this year (in May). Since January 2019, I have been preparing for the exam in mathematics and information, one can say from 0, because, even if there were some school knowledge, they disappeared, the first half of the preparation had to be combined with studying at the university. As a result, I passed it normally, but if at the beginning I wanted to enter an average university (applied mathematics / applied mathematics and computer science) at the mirea / mai level, now I will study, apparently, in mos. Polytechnic University, since I simply did not expect such an increase in points this year (I need a hostel, but I don’t go anywhere on points). I feel very bad, because dropping out after two years of study for the sake of a polytechnic, well, this is a fiasco (according to students, the university is rather weak).
1) gather strength and invest in self-education, especially now many different courses are opening, etc. (normal, for example, from Tinkov, not geekbrains) + persistently try to transfer all 4 years
2) once again retake everything in mathematics and computer science + physics and try next year to get through the RMF or RMI again.
It's just that when I think that I will receive a diploma from a polytechnic, it becomes not very good. Before that, he studied at the Faculty of Law at a rather prestigious Moscow university, and now the Polytechnic University ...
How important is a university for a programmer? I understand that if it didn’t fall to a web developer at all, then for something serious, the level of neural networks, mathematical preparation should obviously be strong. Can you tell me which of these two paths to take? At first I myself am thinking of retaking the exam ahead of schedule, and if again there are points that will not allow me to 100% enter the desired university (270<), then go the first path and put all my strength into self-development. (seemingly didn't work)

Answer 1

if he firmly decided to be a techie, and not a lawyer, then it doesn’t matter which university, the state is enough for
further self-education - ShAD, for example, is a sufficient bar

Answer 2

Everything is rubbish and doesn't make sense. The whole world is an illusion. An atom is 99.9999% empty.
Fuck the university. Do what you love.

Answer 3

I myself studied for a non-engineering specialty for 4 years, and now I’m entering the master’s program as a programmer at two universities, and it so happened that I scored 100 points in one, and 90 in the other, and, as it were, I go to both. I began to choose carefully and for a long time, and I will say this, it’s worth going to where you like the curriculum more, and not to a more prestigious one, because if there are good subjects and you will plow for all 100, then you will get a return in both bad and good uni. In general, by and large, it doesn’t matter what diploma you have, at least for most employers it doesn’t matter.
As an option, I can advise the centers of additional education at universities (TsDPO). At many technical universities you can go there and get a state-recognized diploma of qualification - a programmer engineer (Java / C ++, etc.) and it will come out to you in time from 3 to 6 months and in money from 40 to 100 thousand. But the only thing is that such courses will not give you the base that you get at the university, but you can catch up with it yourself if you need it.
In general, the main effort and desire is possible without a university.
