Will my undergraduate program disqualify me from a top MBA program?

I don’t think you have much to worry about. If your entire package is stellar (big 4 internship/job, high GPA, high GMAT, great letter of recommendations, etc…), then you have a great chance of getting into a very good MBA program.

Think of it as a stepping ladder. People do their undergrad to get the job at the big 4. Once you get the job, where you went for that piece of paper to get you that job doesn’t matter as much. Of course there will always be benefits to the ivy league connections and networks but that will only take you so far.

People on this site tend to think Ivy league or Top 10 undergrad or bust. The further you progress in your career, the less it matters where you went for your bachelors.
