I just graduated from UVSC, which turns into Utah Valley University this year. I had great grades (Engish major=3.9, Business minor=4.0). The last five or six semesters I got a 4.0.
How do the top-tier b-schools look at this. Are all schools kind of created equal or do reviewers scoff. I am hoping to score a 745 to help dissuade any fear that may be lurking.
Please sound off.

The GMAT is scored in 10 point increments so a 745 is not possible.
All schools are not created equal. A degree from a brand name school can be a huge asset in the application process. With a near 4.0 GPA, you can get into a top school, but you'll need to offer some supporting evidence of your academic abilities. A high GMAT score would be one good way to do this.
The most competitive schools like to see evidence that applicants have faced fierce competition and made it to the top of the heap. People who gain admission to an ivy league college or land an ultra-competitive job at Google or as an investment banking analyst have this baked into their backgrounds. People who get a 4.0 at UVSC...unclear, so you'll have to prove your abilities in other ways.

I went to a tiny school, fewer than a 1,000 students. I had a about a 3.4 GPA and a 740 GMAT, and applied to three M7 schools, and already got accepted to one. So it is possible to get in out of a no name school. A word of caution though about my tale, my undergrad was extremely unique, so that may have actually helped. The 740gmat probably proved that academically it wasn't a cake walk to get that 3.4 and that I could cut it in b-school.
