If its any consolation, no one really cares where you got your undergrad degree from or what its in.
As long as its accredited and your GRE scores are great you can get into anything.
Basically I've come to realize that an undergrad degree is a splattering of everything that no one really cares about except as proof that you might just be able to survive in grad school.
I'm not sure how doing well in undergrad is any indication of your potential in grad school. I've seen plenty of cases that show a negative correlation between the two. I barely passed undergrad with a 2 gpa and I'm not doing too shabby in law school.
Most people don't give a damn about undergrad so they suck it up. On the flip side, those doing well in undergrad come into grad school with a certain degree of arrogance.
Unless you get a scholarship, grad schools are pretty much a scam nowadays. That involves everything not a PHD or med school and even those are a stretch. Ten years ago when our economy was still sound in terms of employment, grad school would have guaranteed you good money coming out. Now you're guaranteed enormous debt and maybe no job prospects.

That was the plot of the premier movie in 2008. Since then...
Spoiler:
Count Dooku's been captured by a bunch of pirates; a giant nigh-indestructible monster rampaged Coruscant, trying to kill Palpatine; the badass that is Cad Bane has been introduced; Darth Maul has been resurrected; Ventress tried to kill Dooku; Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan were stranded on a mysterious asteroid populated by incredibly powerful Force wielders and Anakin learned more of his destiny; we meet Grand Moff Tarkin, etc.
Alas, they weren't. He was secretly disarmed and then surrounded by approximately 15 of them with rifles.
Ironically, in season three, he returns to his former badassery with a vengeance. Despite being blinded and outnumbered three to one, Dooku outduels three of the Nightsisters' most talented warriors (Ventress among them). He then humiliates Savage Opress and Ventress simultaneously in a duel -- the same Opress who is capable of hurling Obi-Wan and Anakin's T-6 shuttle off a cliff through telekinesis, the same Opress who can outduel Anakin and Obi-Wan simultaneously. He also demonstrates impressive telekinesis by lifting dozens of gigantic ass obelisks in front of his palace simultaneously.
Dooku's a pimp.
