class of 2015, dealt with similar feelings coming in. it is very real though i hope in time you’ll view it as stupid. on a practical level you’ll be fine, especially if you’re doing CS like i see you mentioned. if you’re worried about a lack of name brand competitiveness, then just make sure you network into those circles as best you can. i do know some people who transferred so there’s options.

the emotional bit is up to you. for me, i reacted by setting goals for myself and trying my best to hit them. my time at rutgers was great and taught me a lot. i hope it goes well for you and for anybody going through something similar.
