<p>I think in this case, it's better to just attend the university YOU feel is right. If it's Cal, by all means go. If it's UCLA, great to have you.

<p>I would argue that it will help, but not as much as getting a good internship will. Then again, it might help you get that good internship, so it couldn't hurt.</p>
