I'm sorry to hear that, it looks like you made a bad decision and a bad planning. Although everyone sometimes takes the wrong step, evaluation is still very important in your decision making.
I certainly agree that given the high cost, a foreign degree isn't automatically better, but it is important to think about that before applying. I'd ask," How could a degree from Tsinghua University supplement my education in a unique way? Is it worth an investment of $XXXXXX to do that?" Thinking of it like a capital investment at a factory.
Secondly, unlike Gaokao which tests a very specific skills, the whole process of application can be somewhat holistic. Gaokao does not necessarily have the same tools someone needs to do well in a US University environment. For instance, our PKU and Fudan U students don't necessarily speak better English than students at less well-known Chinese Schools, like Wenzhou Keane or Ningbo Nottingham. While these universities don't fit well into the Chinese ranking system, their curriculum is particularly strong for preparing students to live and work internationally.
Lastly, I suggest that you should also change your mindset and adjust your attitude. As a graduate from at top-tier Chinese university, I'd start to think carefully about how I can learn from others around me, instead of being skeptical of my own classmates. What skills can I teach to my peers? What can they share with me? Part of the value in an overseas education is the opportunity to meet new people and make the most of a diverse student body. Educational opportunities are what you make of them--they provide a chance to improve yourself, but they don't connote personal value. They don't make you a "better" person, but rather offer a set of tools to make your life or career stronger.
I wish you all the luck BTW!
