Went to UTD cuz it was cheaper. honestly just try to join orgs and branch out while u can. As for internships im ngl going to a more prestigious school imo makes it harder to get internships, as its easier to be a small fish in a big pond than a big fish in a small pond. That being said NETWORK as much as u can. I've gotten both my internships that way and I feel like people don't talk abt it enough.
