As someone who went to both top tier and mid tier schools, I have not found that neither have ever really come up in job interviews or my career The vast majority of people around me don't particularly know which schools are actually top tier, nor do they care what I did there or my GPA. What matters is your output, especially in science, where the question is much more about what you published/what grant funding you got than which institution you're at.
