Name recognition varies by region. Both UCSD/UCLA and UMich are going to be recognized all over the United States, but it is likely that the UCSD/UCLA names will hold more weight on the West Coast whereas UMich will hold more weight on the East Coast and Midwest. Also, the area that you go to school in will probably be the area that you do internships in (unless you go out of state for summer internships), and your internship could potentially lead to a job.

So you might want to consider where you want to live after graduation.
