How much does school matter in on-cycle?

Basically title. Assume 4.0 gpa non-target that did both soph and junior summer in a highly regarded BB Coverage group (think GS Industrials, JPM HC) and have solid deal experience to talk about. Will I be able to shoot for MF and high-tier value funds (Oaktree, Ares, etc)? Is UMM pretty safe?

Also, does diversity help at all? URM male. 

Thanks in advance!
