Greetings,
I have hijacked your thread into the MD/PhD forum.
The answer is, it probably matters a little, but not all that much. There are many at my top-tier program who went to no-name undergrads, including myself!

If you mean can you get into a good program coming from a no name school - you usually can if you are good. I came from a no name. I got into my top choice so I was very happy I did not shell out a fortune in undergrad loans to go elsewhere.
If you mean does the name of the institution at which you get your MD/PhD matter - I would advise you to go to the best school that accepts you at which you can be reasonably happy. Money should not be a problem as the better programs are all very well funded.
