MBAs in decline?

hey guys I’m attending a target school for UG this fall. It’s expensive but I’m sure I’d land a decent job on Wall Street with its rep and connections. That being said, are MBAs losing their value due to the high opportunity cost of elite programs? Is a good target UG school enough or would you need an elite MBA as well to be successful?
