The lines have blurred over the years regarding UC’s and CSU’s. Many CSU’s including SDSU and CSULB offer research opportunities and master’s programs so they are not only confined to the UC schools. As stated by @privatebanker, personal preferences and affordability are a big part of the decision. Rankings can give some guidelines on the quality of the schools programs but why not research the specific school curriculums to see if they meet your academic and career objectives.

A friend’s daughter just got accepted in a MS/PHD program for Biostats and she did her Undergrad at CSU Fullerton. It is not where you go for Undergrad the will define you, it is what you do with the opportunities you are given that will make you successful.

Best of luck.
