Yes, but

(1) The least prestigious university you just listed is still a state flagship, and even admission to some state flagships has become pretty competitive.

(2) Interviewing is time-consuming and therefore costly for the employer, but filtering by school is quick, so the school attended may play a role in who is brought in for an interview.
