Undergrad Importance

Student at a school  considered a target for Banking, I was wondering how much (apart from that initial IB/PE placement), UG matters for. For SM and MM (after an IB/PE stint) is there a large marked difference between different tiers of targets? Ie HYSPW, the Lower Ivies, or Stern/Gtown/Ross type schools
