UW is a top world university and is recognized everywhere as a major research institution. Name recognition will not be a problem. However, to get into a place like Cambridge, you’ll have to be great from the beginning. Get good grades, get involved in research early, etc. Grad schools really don’t care about extracurriculars at all unless they’re related to your field, so while you should do whatever makes you happy, just know that being involved in something like student government or an anime club isn’t going to help you get into a top biology program (for instance).
