I’ll be going to an accredited but low ranked state university for CS. How important is it where my CS degree is from as far as internships and getting hired?

Same my school is brainlet tier.
I still got an internship though this summer and I think I can get a job next year so I'm not too worried.

That’s nice to hear. Yeah internships are my main worry, but I could always apply to ones outside of what the college offers.

Fuck off to Jow Forums
Here's free advice dipshit, you already fucked up by going to college . Not only is Jow Forums completely delusional on what is a good salary but trade school still exists and is way better. Why the fuck would you want a job working with computers all day? Did your parents or some mentor feed you some shit about how you're smart and good at computers or something? Don't major in cs fuckhead.

You'll need to make up for your crappy school by attaining a ridiculously high GPA. In addition to that, you'll probably want to join their honors program and possibly attain an internship.

Well, you'll most likely get the "bottom of the barrel" in terms of lucrative internship offers and co-ops, but you can use it as a stepping stone in conjunction with your GPA for attaining a better job or graduates degree from a better recognized and heavily recruited university.
I'm in the same position myself. My GPA is immaculate, but my university has no "real" selection for internships or recruitment from major companies. This is why I'm working part time for a major company. Using this crappy job I have now as an "in" to be more likely to get picked for an internship with them, so I can use all of this as leverage to attain a spot within a reputable graduates program that is heavily recruited by major companies after I graduate.

Am I going to make it Jow Forums?

I majored in "Informatics" from a school people laugh at. Still managed to get high quality internships and a high paying job out of it. I would suggest you look into a software engineering degree rather than cs.
