Undergrad prestige doesn’t play a massive role for grad school admissions. What matters most are your undergrad GPA, your letters of recommendation, your GMAT/GRE test scores, and your work/internship/volunteer experience related to the graduate field you want to pursue. People from no-name universities get into top grad programs every year. So if money is an issue for you now, go to the place that you can afford, become the biggest fish that you can in that particular pond, form strong relationships with your professors and stay in touch with them after you graduate so that when you are ready for grad school they can write the LORs that you will need.
