Not a huge deal, I think they want good work exp more than anything.
Well it depends - better ugrad typically means better work exp / is an indicator of better test taking abilities…. So it’s not ugrad per se that they’re selecting for (I doubt going to a t10 school makes a huge difference relative to working at mbb) but it does drive outcomes in a way
I don’t think undergrad alone is usually the dealbreaker. I’d look at GMAT/GRE, work experience, clarity of goals, and how specific your essays are to each school; they matter more than the school name.
Adcoms know that there are many factors that influence where someone went to undergrad. They want to know that you made the most of whatever resources were available to you at whatever university you attended.
