It is not a problem at all. I have a friend who went to UC Davis and graduated from Columbia Business School in 2001. She had a near perfect SAT score though.
Then she went on to investment banking and has survived all the craze on the street including the internet bubble right after her graduation. So undergrad school is by no means a determinant of a person's career success.
In terms of your application, demonstrate your potential for your stated goals. Below are some major elements we recommend you to show in your application.
1) Evidence of achievement. Achievements need to be significant either by the hurdles you had to overcome or by the net result.
2) Evidence of intellect. This is demonstrated partly through GMAT and previous academic record. In addition, a sophisticated level of analysis and a subtle and nuanced approach to intellectual problems in the workplace.
3) Evidence of character. Specifically:
a) Team orientation
b) Leadership potential
c) Self-awareness
d) Cultural sensitivity and awareness
e) Drive and ambition
f) Authenticity and Integrity
Focus on your uniquenesses and convince others why you can be a high-achiever after b-school.
