<p>It won’t hurt you if you don’t have a specific undergrad IR major.</p>

<p>Yes, work experience, internships, etc. do seem to count for a lot.
The undergrad school’s IR reputation might help some, but I don’t think it will count for more than the overall quality of your undergrad school. I think qualified persons from other diverse and relevant backgrounds would have just as much of an edge, if not more so.</p>
