Now that USMLE step 1 will be pass/fail, will the reputation of my medical school heavily affect whether or not I get into a competitive residency?

Yes. If you're pre-medical like your banner says and want a competitive field, maximize your prestige now. If you're in medical school and are DO/IMG you're going to have to work harder than your US MD colleagues from top places to match a competitive field.
