Reputation of Undergraduate Institution

[Born2baDoctor]

Does the reputation of your undergraduate institution matter if you apply to schools that aren't ivy-league, but are really good schools? (NYU, Johns Hopkins, Mayo, etc.) Even if you have the grades that is.

The consensus seems to be that high-ranked schools favor people from high-ranked schools. Your state school probably wouldn't mind if the entire class came from state schools, but most of Harvard's incoming class is from relatively elite private schools. Lots of academic inbreeding takes place.
