How important is MBA?

Currently a senior in college and will start as an IB full time analyst this summer at Goldman. Want to do PE or HF after banking and hopefully one day start my own firm or search fund. How important is it to get your MBA? Granted the only 5 I would go to are (HBS, Stanford, Booth, Kellogg, Wharton). Is it necessary or companies phasing out MBA?
