It'll matter when you try to get into your first public practice accounting job so you can get your CPA with audit hours.
After you get your CPA , no one gives. At that point it becomes, how much experience do you have and how well does your public practice experience transfer to industry.
If you stay in public practice after designation, it's about how much you know (ie do you have Indepth, do you have SOX experience, are you an IFRS guru). At that point no one will care you got your BBA from a "lesser" school, in fact it'll put you a step ahead. Guy went to "lesser" school but is now partner or CFO material.
Side note: If you think Big 4 is the be all and end all, speak to someone that is off the record. Also remember the folk at those recruiting events are there to kiss ass to their managers and couldn't give a shit about you.
