Most of the programs you list are pretty selective, have you been admitted?

In general, the rank of the college you attend matters a lot less than you think.

What will set you apart as a recent college grad are good grades and relevant experience. You can get both of those at any of the schools you list In fact, it is probably easier to do both at a moderately sized CSU than one of the top UCs. As a student, you have much easier access to faculty, which if you take advantage, will almost certainly improve your GPA. Leadership opportunities in clubs, as well as internships and local jobs can also be easier to come by as many CSU students have to commute and/or work and have less time to pursue them.
