Your argument is entitled and annoying. If there’s any weakness this “mediocre” school has, it’s picking such attitudes to represent them.
Not fake at all. And I’m not entitled.
Why do you say that the students and alumni are unsuccessful?
They are. No one has accomplished anything–our linkedin alumni group has fewer than 1000 participants. I guess none of our grads are employed?
Curious - what university is this?
@ddefe1, I doubt that presence on Linked In is a reflection of rates of employment.
I would highly doubt that. Show me how you none are employed. Not everybody that is employed is on linkedin. Besides, does every single one of the 999 people on linkedin have “unemployed” as a status, with no jobs or anything (internships, co-ops, research, etc.) on their record?
I’m confused. If the post graduation picture is so bleak there, I urge you to seek a transfer option.
This is a first world problem. Your attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy which will end you up as an unsuccessful student. Why wouldn’t it? With an attitude like yours, it’s no wonder you aren’t accomplishing anything you feel proud of. You are a self-defeatist, and it’s clear that unless everything is going as you hope, then everything is a disappointment. There is one thing any one person has control over in his lifetime, and that is his attitude… Only YOU can change your attitude WHEN you decide to. Only then will you be an active participant in the game of life.
ps. Therapy works when the patient WANTS change, otherwise it’s a self indulgent exercise.
First world problem perhaps, but even you are aware that elite schools offer a “once in a lifetime opportunity”–so what am I doing?
I’d tell you…but we’re not allowed to use the word anymore. 
Your complaints make you sound spoiled and entitled.
I think that some of you guys are being a little bit harsh and misunderstanding of op. This summer I’ll be attending a top 50 university and I can honestly say that I can 100% relate. At times I do wonder what would’ve happened if I applied to say a top 20 or 30 school, and at times I do indeed feel bad about it. On the other hand, I also realize that the school I’ll be attending will provide me with tons of incredible opportunities. Also, even though I have no authority on the matter, I am currently getting professional help due to some of the things mentioned in this thread. Op, what you’re experiencing is normal. No matter what you accomplish you’ll always wonder what else you could’ve accomplished. You may need help, or this may be something you’ll soon grow out of. I don’t know. I do think though that you should research opportunities at your school a little bit more though. There is absolutely no way a top 100 school doesn’t have everything you need and more. If these feelings are seriously affecting your quality of life though and causing for a lack of motivation though, then I would seriously consider seeking help.
Normal?
What the OP is feeling is not normal in any sense of the word. Normal would be being happy you are at a good school and taking advantage of the opportunities higher education affords one. That would be normal. Normal would be adjusting one’s attitude to succeed regardless of what rank your school has. Normal would be not being so fragile. If things like this have one in the fetal position I really feel for you later in life when the challenges can be much harder to deal with.
But, oh my, I don’t want to be harsh so OP please by all means do whatever you think is appropriate and best of luck.
