I'd be interested to see how graduating seniors rate Uni a year or 5 years from now when you have some more long-term perspective on your education here. While what you write is largely true, it's also true that you're at the end of a long exhausting run, and maybe more prone to be critical of your Uni experience while you're feeling worn out.

Being a history teacher, I look back on classes in subjects I wasn't particularly interested in during high school and realize their value. While I don't spend my spare time mixing strange chemicals in my basement, I really appreciate the understanding of chemistry I gained in Mr. Craven's chemistry class forty years ago. Even more important and surprising, I find that knowing some basic chemistry often gives me better perspective on various issues that come up.

As far as I can tell, few, if any, Uni faculty teach toward the goal of getting you into a prestigious college. However, I would contend that the pressures students feel are largely the result of their teachers caring too much....
not about the college you go to...
not about how much money you make...
but just about you being informed responsible human beings.

Come back in five years and tell me if I'm right.
