Does the quality of my undergrad school greatly effect my chances at a top MBA school

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>I am getting my bachelors in mechanical engineering at the University of Idaho. This school is not ranked in the top 100 for engineering. I think it ranked soon after the top 100 ranking. I have a good GPA now but not sure if that is going to matter at this school. Will this greatly effect my chances of being accepted in a top MBA school later?</p>

<p>Look at a list of students at any top B school. Top colleges are way overrepresented. The real question is do they get in because they got into those colleges because they were already extreme achievers?</p>
