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

I didn’t figure out what I wanted to do with my life until pretty late in the game so I haven’t gone to a very good undergraduate school (Northern Illinois University). I’m wondering if this will disqualify me from going to a top MBA program? I have a good GPA and imagine I’ll graduate at around 3.9 and hopefully getting a job at a big 4 accounting firm. If all goes to plan and I get a stellar gmat score (730-750) do I have a chance at a top MBA program? My top choices are U of M Ross, Stern, U of Chicago Booth, and any tier 2 schools with good recruiting for management consulting which is what I want to do.

So am I screwed because of my undergrad program? Can I get some great extracurricular’s to make up for it?
