Whether or not you join the Schola Progenium is usually not determined by you as an individual, it's determined by whether or not your parents died fighting for the Imperium (so as long as they were something such as a member of the Ecclesiarchy, IG Stormtroopers or Sororitas).

About deciding the world you were born on, one would certainly not want to live on a Hive-World, since 95% of civilians on a Hive-World will never accend past being low or poverty class, or just a plain corpse. It might not be too bad living on a Forge World (but Forge Worlds are popular targets for the Imperium's enemies). So out of all other worlds, a Civilized World is probably where the average Imperial citizen has the most opportunity. Whether it's backwater or well-known doesn't make much of a difference, since it mostly boils down to a matter of population.

If we were to take the theme of this conversation outside of human/Imperial boundaries, it would be intresting to see what you guys would be in Tau society for example.

I'm not too big a Tau fan, but living in their society would be easier than living in the Imperium, I would most likely join the Air Caste or Fire Caste.
