Neither of us knows how you'll fare if you go to UCLA Bioengineering versus UCSD Bioengineering. In the end, your job prospects depend on how hard you work. Also, with the current job market, it's not like you won't get any job prospects coming out of UCLA Bioengineering versus UCSD Bioengineering, and it's not like there aren't already enough biotech/pharm recuiters filling up UCLA engineering career fairs each quarter. While UCSD has a head start in its reputation, the catch-up effect is definitely playing in UCLA's favor. In the long term, you'll just move to San Diego four years later, rather than right away.
