Do IBD ask for employee's transcripts?

I am a Upenn LPS grad. I have a poli-sci degree with a minor in econ. I have read that some of the employers in IB look at transcripts. I worked hard to get into LPS, including getting high scores on the SAT. I have a good academic record, but although I have a traditional ivy league diploma from CAS, my transcripts say that I graduated through the LPS division because I am a non-traditional, which brings me to asking you three questions: 1.) Will BB IB care about the nomenclature on my transcript? 2.) To what extent will they care? 3.) Will BB and IB employers ask for my transcripts?

This is really important, and I would greatly appreciate your time and answers, specifically if you know how hiring process goes at BB and IB. Thanks.
