Syracuse vs UCSD. Does undergrad really matter?

College Search & Selection
1

I’m between Syracuse University and UC San Diego. I plan on going to law school after I finish college and I was wondering if where you got your undergrad really matters. I’m almost 100% sure they’re both top tier universities, however, UCSD is better ranked; both in my career(psychology #13) and as a university(National ranking #39 vs 61). I think I can do better at SU than at UCSD though(grades wise) and I got financial aid at SU and didn’t get any at UCSD. I’m wondering… does undergrad really matter that much? Especially if they’re both top 100 universities?

Please help asap!!!

For law school your GPA and LSAT score will matter a whole lot more than the name of the place that appears on your diploma. So you can safely choose the less expensive option where you also believe you will be a more successful student.
