Buyside Continuity Threatened?

Please spare the monkey s***....I ask this in response to the famous "Former MS M&A and KKR" thread.

How much of a disadvantage is it to go to...GASP...Wharton instead of H/S for MBA if you're looking at megafunds or top MMs after bschool? This is assuming a solid undergrad and 2+2 experience at another megafund or top MM.

I think this is a relevant question, especially given the recent trend in H/S admissions away from PE applicants. Even GS/KKR equivalent people are in a bind about whether to go below H/S for MBA or stay in industry.
