How much does your choice of undergraduate school affect your ability to get into a good graduate school?

How important is your choice of undergraduate school when it comes to getting into graduate school at highly regarded universities (Ivy League and similar)? Do such schools accept students with good grades, etc. from schools that are maybe not so prestigious? Especially when you have the credentials in high school to go to higher ranked undergraduate schools but choose not to for financial reasons/scholarship oppurtunities.
