Group selection affect return offer rates?

Incoming NYC BB SA at a top of the street bank. (JPM/GS/MS). However I’m a state school kid who is concerned about how my school will play into return offers.

Is it better to gun for a competitive group I like or take into an “easier” group that likely will care less about what school I went to?

Will this decision significantly affect return offer rates in this regard. Appreciate advice.
