If it's mediocre as you say you should be able to ace the classes, so DO stay focused and get top grades, and work on making yourself known to your professors in order to get good letters of recommendation from them for grad school. I also attended a state university that wasn't exactly known for rigorous academics. It did suck in that way (in elementary and high school I was in the advanced classes but in university I was back in a class with less than advanced classmates) but make the best of it and get yourself a high g.p.a. and do what you can now to pave the road to a top grad school, if that's what you want to do.
