(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
that describes exactly what happened to me, and exactly what i want to do.

just try to make the most of it.

and try not to go into it thinking that it's a "bad" school...
don't let your ego hinder your ability to do well there.
(i let that happen to me, and trust me--it was a big mistake.
now my first- and second-year transcripts make me look mentally retarded, even though it was all because i was bored...)

but anyway, don't let that happen to you!

i'm sure that you'll get a decent education.
half of the knowledge that you need to be successful isn't taught in school, anyway.

my parents are friends with so many millionaires who didn't even go to college. (my dad, on the other hand, went to a very prestigious university.. and has been unemployed for the past 6 years. )

...so the status of your school doesn't always matter.
just try to excel wherever you are.

(and if you really don't like it there, you can always transfer next year...? )
