Does undergrad matter that much for those of us under 45 other than it helped us get first jobs and admission to great grad schools? I went to a good school on your list of places that matter and a 2nd grad school on this list too. The grad institution is more important in terms of $$ and reputation even in social conversations, though I have noticed in DC I'm asked where I went to college far more often than anywhere else I've lived. I can only think of one person in my college friend group who didn't go to grad school (we are all still under 40 but it seems similar for those who are a little older too), and rank and prestige matter more there whether it be b-school (M7), law school (T14), or PhD programs (where the top grad schools are producing the vast majority of faculty members).
